WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said a fundamental reform of the World Health Organization is needed following its handling of the coronavirus pandemic and that the United States, the WHO's biggest donor, may never restore funding to the U.N. body.

"I think we need to take a real hard look at the WHO and what we do coming out of this," Pompeo told Fox News late on Wednesday. "We reformed this back in 2007, so this isn't the first time we've had to deal with the shortcomings of this organization.

Warns? How about a promise!

Unless Trump is declaring a dictatorship, this can’t be promised past 2024.

but YES, I’ll take it!

Excellent!!

Not one more dime to any UN agency or the UN itself.

[Rurudyne]

I’m not seeing a down side.

Now let us work on denying funding to all the UN and NGOs...

Wait till everything about the W.H.O. comes out.

"... so this isn't the first time we've had to deal with the shortcomings of this organization."

'This organization' -> that type of wording drips with disdain. I like that. It's the proper feeling.

Sounds good. Let the woke celebrities do a tribute concert. Call it WHO Aid

[dp0622]

If it hurts the US that’s considered a positive for most dems

Let the woke celebrities do a tribute concert

They just did.

Who Director Tedros, asked to resign by some, was asked if he would do so.... said US needs to read rules on his resigning that they know the rules.

Any UN setup has way too much leverage and too few results for the excessive money put into it. Major decisions being made by people who aren’t elected and who have a strong left wing bias. Sheltered workshops.

[Osage Orange]

While they are at it...STOP funding the UN..and kick them out of the USA!!!

[WHATNEXT?]

Let’s also make permanent the immigration pause. I know, I know, it wasn’t what we thought it was going to be. But, it can be changed to be more inclusive...we did it before and we SHOULD do it again.

U.S. may never restore funding for the WHO (until the next democrat is elected).

Fixed it.....

[Rummyfan]

The WHO needs to be either reformed top-to-bottom or just down away with entirely.

Warns? How about promises?

P.S. to Buckeye McFrog: Only a jagoff would continue to fund the WHO.
