Coronavirus, Trump orders to stop US funding for WHO: “Covered the spread of the virus”



[ad_1]

NEW YORK – President Donald Trump cuts US funding to the World Health Organization (WHO) because he is too pro-Chinese. Retaliation had been in the air for some time, after tensions escalated between the UN-linked health agency and the White House. Trump accused the WHO of disastrous pandemic management.In particular, he did not forgive the multilateral agency for attacking it when it banned travelers from China.

“Everyone knows what is going on there, he said, referring to the WHO, and the disastrous decision to oppose China’s travel restrictions.” Accused of his initial underestimates of the pandemic, criticized by many U.S. governors for failing to deliver federal aid, Trump has always bragged about acting earlier than others by banning the entry of Chinese travelers. Italy was also one of the first countries to introduce such restrictions, and was initially criticized by the WHO.

China, the voice of the teacher

The American media, even the most progressive and critical of Trump, have not been gentle with the WHO. It has been repeatedly pointed out that the international organization waited a month before declaring a pandemic. Its CEO went to Beijing to pay tribute to Xi Jinping, keeping silent about the initial silences and complaints with which the Chinese government concealed the epidemic from the world.

Chinese influence has also been observed to increase within WHO, and other UN agencies, although the United States remains the main funder. However, many independent American observers, for example philanthropist Bill Gates, argue that one of the lessons of this pandemic should be to strengthen international cooperation.
