US President Claims WHO bias for China, warned for Defunding

President of the United States (US President) Donald Trump has warned for de-funding World Health Organization (WHO) accusing it to be bias for China.

In his latest press briefing, US President Donald Trump said;

“They missed the call. They could have called it months earlier.”

“They would have known. And they should’ve known.”

“And they probably did know. So we’ll be looking into that very carefully.”

“And we’re going to put a hold on money spent to the WHO. We’re going to put a very powerful hold on it.”

However, he later said the decision may be re considered.

“I’m not saying I’m going to do it,” Trump later answered.

World Health Organization’s $4.8 billion budget is funded in part by cosponsors, foundations and governments, with the U.S. providing around $111 million in 2017, along with $401 million in voluntary funds.

The Trump administration has already requested a reduction of $65 million for 2021.
