Germany slammed Wednesday the US decision to suspend payments to the World Health Organization (WHO), as Foreign Minister Heiko Maas warned against blaming others for the coronavirus crisis.
US President Donald Trump announced the funding freeze on Tuesday, accusing the WHO of severely mismanaging the spread of the virus.
Blaming others wont help. The virus knows no borders, Maas wrote on Twitter. One of the best investments is to strengthen the UN, above all the under-financed WHO in the development and distribution of tests and vaccines.
Merkel spokesman Steffen Seibert, meanwhile, said that the WHO was doing unbelievably important work.

Good idea.
Everyone takes advantage of the US. The big Sugar Daddy..but they mostly hate us
One of the WHO guys from Canada said if he got Wuhan he would wanted to be treated in China.
LOL...
Good...let Frau Merkel make up the difference/loss.
"We are moving at a faster pace."
Oh my, people really hate seeing how many crooks and communists there really are in organizations like these and how really corrupt and rotten they all are.
Blaming wont help?
I wonder what Maas thinks about all the efforts to blame Trump from the Left?

Angela Merkel says the coronavirus will have Germans working in solidarity as not seen since World War II
= = =
Great! Let her pay for the WHO shortfall with all of this German productivity $$.
Germany, which never has met its NATO funding goal, is going to lecture us? Do we need to hick Germany’s ass AGAIN?
Fauci and the CDC ( CDC is worthless ) are big fans of WHO
Donald Trump’s CDC director contradicts him over WHO funding ‘freeze’ saying body’ STILL is a great partner’ and ‘we’re continuing to work side by side’
You’re on a roll...keep going!!
All these countries just need to chip in a little each and make up what was lost.
Easy to do if it’s so important.
Right, let the Germans make up the difference if they are so upset. And while you at it don’t invade Poland.
What difference, at this point, does it make!?
They, and Bill Gates, can pick up the tab anytime they’d like.
Blame yes. In order to prevent this from happening again, the WHO and China need to be hauled before the world and punished somehow.
Uh oh. Other member nations will have to make up the payment!
If something an agency of our govt did killed thousands of germans and tanked their economy, casting blame would be the least of their response
