Top US, European lawmakers call for global unity in COVID response

As I predicted.

While others said this coronavirus would be the end of globalism I said globalists would re-write the narrative.

For globalists, free traders, and one-worlders this isn't a crisis. It's an opportunity.

The new narrative for the globalists is this is a fight against "authoritarians and strongmen" and the nations of the world must unite and reject "isolationism".

>The new narrative for the globalists is this is a fight against “authoritarians and strongmen” and the nations of the world must unite and reject “isolationism”.

Ironic because its the same thugs denying the civil rights of local citizenry.

So those voices are falling on deaf ears where I’m standing here.

I think there is strength in uniting to force China to contribute to the financial devastation it caused.

"...stressed safeguarding transatlantic relationships...

So 'transatlantic relationships' will live, locl economies and people will die.

WHO (World Health Organization) is not the enemy,
Tedros, ( the current Director) is already "owned" by the Chicoms and is.. !
as is his home country's budget, Ethiopia.
It is the foothold that the CHi-coms wanted to get into mineral rich Africa.

"Would-be authoritarians and strongmen are using the crisis to consolidate power and crack down on the rights and freedoms of their people, political opponents, and the independent press."

And here (some of them) they are:

“Would-be authoritarians and strongmen are using the crisis to consolidate power and crack down on the rights and freedoms of their people, political opponents, and the independent press.”

.........
We know their implicit attack is aimed at Trump.

Ef Europe.

“House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel (D-N.Y)”

THE HILL’s definition of a “top U.S. lawmaker.” Ha!

[MrEdd]

Dead wrong.

Tedros holds that post because that is how WHO is constructed, and the WHO was constructed specifically with implementation of United Nations Agenda 21 in mind.

Next contestant.

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

MrEdd :" ..WHO was constructed specifically with implementation of United Nations Agenda 21 in mind. "

One this issue, we agree .

[Codeflier]

I have long maintained this is a total globalist takeover by billionaires. We are definitely going to get a lot more globalism out of this. Not less.

[ssfromla]

Rejecting isolationism, nationalism and the common good is exactly why we find ourselves in this predicament.

Through globalization, our leaders have sold us and our children out for money to enrich themselves, their families and friends.

The nepotism too is rampant and stinks to high heaven.

What you said.

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman James Risch (R-Idaho) was not a signatory to Friday's statement. The committee did not immediately respond to an inquiry about why he did not participate.

Possibly because calls for world authoritarianism aren't very popular in his home state?

[Yollopoliuhqui]

Why don’t we just hand our national sovereignty over to the World Health Organization right now then?

[9YearLurker]

Blatantly unconstitutional.

Our president has the executive powers, which include negotiations with foreign powers.

EU response: “Let America do it”

Top lawmakers on both sides of the Atlantic released a joint statement Friday calling for countries worldwide to reject isolationism and work together to fight the coronavirus pandemic.

Well on one side of the Atlantic at any rate. A House committee chairman isn't a 'top lawmaker'.
