President Trump announced Tuesday that he was immediately suspending funding to the World Health Organization (WHO). The State Department was otherwise poised to hand over to the WHO $893 million over the next two years. The Presidents move came in response to the actions of the WHO and particularly its Director, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, in defending Chinas handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Estimates are that 95% of the deaths worldwide from the ongoing pandemic could have been avoided had Chinese authorities not lied about the scope of the outbreak and had instead warned the world of the scope of the problem on their soil.
In making the announcement that funding would be withheld the President also noted that an investigation was being launched into the actions of the WHO stating that the WHO had put political correctness over lifesaving measures and that the WHO was China-centric.
We have deep concerns over whether Americas generosity has been put to the best use possible, Trump said. He noted that the WHO had a duty to warn the world of what was really happening in China and that The WHO failed in this duty and must be held accountable. He added that the WHO had also ignored credible information in December 2019 that the virus could be transmitted from human to human.
