We shouldn’t be giving them anything.
Don’t cave on this one Donald. Dump the WTO, too, while we’re at it.

And in addition...

1. Demand that Tedros Adhanom and his acolytes be replaced with competent professionals.

2. Do the same with the United Nations.

[[The United States could restore some funding to the World Health Organization ]]

noooooo- they are protecting china right now- why in the world would we even be considering doing that? How about give that money to our nation’s poor instead where it can actually do some good instead of lining a fat cat’s wallet?

Trump is a good man surrounded by deep state dirtbags. Whoever gave this advice doesn’t belong in the same state as the POTUS.

And yet with all that funding, the WHO hasn’t put out a new album for years.

OTOH, treasonous organizations should be treated like treasonous individuals...to the full extent of the law.

I think you guys are over reacting. He wants everyone to keep hearing how little China pays compared to us and he wants Americans to demand we not give them money anymore. He’ll keep this going until the election.

As satisfying as it would be to just fully defund the WHO, this is better politics.

China wants to stand shoulder to shoulder with the US on the world stage.

Trump, being Trump says “OK”.

Knowing, full well, that they can’t and won’t. They care about “face” as well as economic power, and the president just smacked them where it will hurt the most.

Smart dude, president Trump.

Trump: US Considering Giving WHO No More Than China Does

This has to be the stupidest way to decide funding levels - ever.

If it's in our interest to fund the WHO, do it. If not, don't.

All this does is make us look gimmicky.

>>>According to the WHO, the United States provides nearly 15 percent of its funding. China gave about $40 million last year.

Interesting how it’s told. China’s number reads kinda high, while we’re at 15%. 15‰ of what?

We cut off funding. We for all practical purposes withdrew from the World Health Organization. Why would we want to get back in?

We should give them 10% of a dollar.

A nice, shiny dime.

It is not how much US gives to WHO. It is inmaterial that Trump propose we not give more than ChiComm.

Even if US gives WHO 100 times what we paid before. The money will NOT buy influence at the WHO organization. Zip, zilch, nada. So what good does it (pay into WHO) do again?

I am all for COMPLETELY Scratch the U.N. all of its sub-divisions (whatever they are called). Too many NGOs competing for money any way, and most of the $$$$ goes to fat bureaucrats and their experts, none of them answering to anybody.
