The USA Is Halting Funding for the World Health Organization

USA is halting funding for World Health Organization (WHO). President Donald Trump announced on April 14, accusing the organization of not being able to in time prevent the coronavirus spread. As Trump noted, experts will study the WHO actions. CNN reported. According to Trump, the review would cover the WHO's "role in severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of coronavirus." As Trump noted, the USA funds $400 million to $500 million to the WHO each year, while China " contributes roughly $40 million." “Had the WHO done its job to get medical experts into China to objectively assess the situation on the ground and to call out China's lack of transparency, the outbreak could have been contained at its source with very little death,” Trump said. Trump has previously accused WHO of having paid too much attention to China. Recall that in the United States confirmed 609 thousand cases of coronavirus. More than 26 thousand Americans died from the coronavirus.
