President Donald Trump announced Tuesday at the White House that he would put a hold on funding to the World Health Organization amid the coronavirus crisis.
“They were wrong about a lot of things,” Trump said.
The president noted that the World Health Organization receives more from the United States than any other country, and would require accounting for their failure to properly alarm the world about the coronavirus outbreak.
“We want to look into the World Health Organization because they really called it wrong,” Trump said. “They missed the call, they could have called it months earlier, they would have known, they should have known, and they probably did know.”
The president noted that the WHO actually criticized his travel ban from China that he set in late January.
“Such restrictions can have the effect of increasing fear and stigma, with little public health benefit,” WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said about travel bans just days after Trump banned travel from China.
Trump said the WHO frequently sided with China despite heavy criticism for their lack of transparency about the virus.
“They seem to be very China-centric,” he said. “That’s a nice way of saying it, but they seem to be very China-centric, and they seem to err always on the side of China.”
Trump accused the global organization of also getting a lot wrong about the virus.
“It’s a great thing when it works, but when they call every shot wrong, it’s no good,” he said.
Later in the briefing, reporters asked why he would freeze funding to the WHO in the middle of a pandemic.

What haven’t they gone all in on at this point.
It’s always something with that bunch.
The cold war with Red China is heating up!
Ask not for whom the Prez trolls.
He trolls for thee!
Methinks President Trump lets the rabbit out of the hat just enough so you can see there is a rabbit in the hat.
That removes the element of surprise when the bunny jumps right out...
The President is a master troller.
He does not declare war. He declares truth through hint, subtly, or with tentative postulation , or by outright declaration. Those around him have very high cringe factor. And as you say, out jumps the rabbit while the standard politcal offers are shaking with ague. Always very interesting, whichi is why the left is so fascinated in their watching of Trump. They can’t stay away.
That drives his enemies quite insane.
There are times when I wonder whether President Trump has studied Machiavelli.
Its interesting also to watch the socialists at WHO start whining when President Trump requires accountability for US funds spent.
Its pure Trump. With this way, the President reformed NATO funding in about 6 months.
WHO’s free ride is over, kaput.
Probably...but the President is far more subtle.
the President is far more subtle. >..
Agreed, that is what makes it work.
We see how demonstrably sharp and insightful President Trump is in dealing with his fake news adversaries. He trains and educates them. He spanks them in public.
I love the White House biased news reporters. I love to watch the President spank them into line. So does the rest of America.
book mark
thankks
WHO is just another one of a bunch international sjw associations that are hot beds of corruption bribery and incompetence...UN and clintoon foundation are 2 more that immediately come to mind...defund all of them...
