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.

Probably laughing at you being click-baited with fake news!
just like Ukraine!!!! :)
Watch the video. Trump says “We’re going to put a hold on it”.
President Trump is separating the good guys/gals in this battle for the survival of our country.
He is not funding the BSers any more.
Could this have been planned by WHO and China????
China saw that the Deep State coup was not working, and maybe they thought...start a virus, have WHO downplay the seriousness, high fatalities, blame President Trump...shazaam, we have president biden??
Naaaah, too evil.
Good!
Now get a refund!
Proving once again that they:
HATE AMERICA, OUR PRESIDENT, AND US.
But we don’t need any more proof.
Outstanding!
You are right. I heard him too. Checked his tweets...no tweets about it.
Surely he has figured out by now, the WHO is a a leftist organization, who see this virus as a way to defeat Trump in November. Send them $ 100 and tell them good luck
Good. We shouldn’t be paying for Commie propaganda which the WHO has become with the appointment of that Ethiopian Commie beholden to the Chicoms.
Fake News.
Trump said he’s looking at cutting their US funding.
Hope he does.
Totally incompetent and corrupt to the core. Senator Rick Scott R (FL) was really worked up last night about this also.
They lied to us and sided with China.
Defund our contribution to $ZERO.
Yes!
“Watch the video. Trump says “We’re going to put a hold on it”.”
Not on the video in response to a question he says no freeze on funds.
Live at Leads :p
Pete and Roger already have enough money.
