Threat:Trump vows to starve WHO of cash for being snug to China over COVID-19

Trump today has announced the plans to halt on World Health Organization funding after hitting out at the body’s ‘China-centric’ approach to tackling coronavirus.

During his speech at the White House Tuesday, the President of the United States said that the United State paid the highest money to the WHO.

According to him, he said that the WHO- received around $58million from the US early this year – could have ‘called it months earlier’, amid claims it failed to establish China’s alleged lies over the number of COVID-19 deaths and diagnoses

From his speech, he said we pay for the biggest amount of their money. They’ve been wrong about the things they do. They had a lot of information early and they didn’t want to reveal it, they seem to be very China-centric......…that’s a nice way of saying it.

They seem to err on the side of China. ‘We’re going to look into that… they called it wrong. They missed the call. They could have called it months earlier. They could have known…. they probably did know.

We’re going to halt the way money is spent with the WHO. ‘When they call every shot wrong that’s no good…They didn’t see what was going on, they didn’t report it.’

Trump hit out at the WHO earlier today for criticizing his partial China travel ban in February. US intelligence sources have also claimed the country’s communist government vastly downplayed the number of people diagnosed with and subsequently killed by COVID-19.

The Chinese government says just over 3,300 people died of COVID-19 across its country, but US spies say the true death toll is over 40,00

In January, WHO executive director Dr. Michael Ryan said that China was ‘doing the right things’ about coronavirus, and added: ‘We’ve obviously seen now lack of transparency.’
