US President Donald Trump announced on April 14, 2020, that he will suspend Washington’s funding of the World Health Organisation (WHO) pending a review of the UN agency’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic. The United States is the largest contributor to the 194-member WHO. Trump’s move during an unprecedented global health crisis has been met by widespread criticism.

Look up the WHO’s statements regarding Coronavirus while it was still in China. They continuously insisted no human human contact. That it’s risk was small, and lesser than that of SARS.

Anyone can express sadness about the funding cut, but non-american, especially the china spokesperson should not criticize what Trump is doing. That's US taxpayers' money. Talk is cheap, if China really cares about the world so much, then donate more to WHO.

He did a Right Job...he should be appreciated for this..

Pseudo critics..

[SShiJie]

I support his decision
You have to care for you own people first before others.
Why does the world rely on the US?

[notaworldpeaceafterall]

US is a powerful country. They can make their own WHO

Trump loves to fire people even at these devastating times. This is a really bad time to be playing the blame game. Why can't trump put more attention and money helping labs finding treatments and developing vaccines. Also fix the high unemployment rate. Focus on the people who needs help now. Investigating WHO requires time and money, which is what America needs now.

I don't understand why everyone is blaming coronavirus on China and WHO, China's economy is suffering as well. It's not just US.

Sometimes I forget this is a Chinese channel...

WHO makes the testing kits and distributes them to countries that don't have.

Gotta love a guy who funds his own campaign, gets el5cted, and has no obligations to lobby or government groups at their beckoned call

A wildcard is just what's needed right now.

Whatever your stance towards the WHO is, our leaders should dedicate all of their energy to saving lives at this stage of the pandemic.
Even if the coordinator is doing a bad job during a crisis, weakening it as things are still getting worse can lead to no positive outcomes.

[eyangao]

Too many ignorant people in the comment section who only listen to what they want to listen. The worst part is they have to speak out their ignorance in public. What a unfortunate scenario!

[sweeleongng]

That the right thing to do over corrupted WHO.

[dorafan]

@Mike Hudson  Anyone can express sadness about the funding cut, especially that the WHO was corrupted by the Chinese Government and doesn't care of it's consequences... - what he actually said (Mike Hudson)

[israelfajardo]

I think the president has a right to suspend anytime.

[kasabihan]

Fire Dr. Tedros!!!! Worst health Organization.

[abidikar]

Donald Trump will do anything and everything for Americans... 👍

[astyna]

Trump is doing a right thing. I keep thinking who is ccp spokesperson.

[naniy]

If I were trump I would ask for refund also...

[thastayapongsak]

The only people getting the criticism is the WHO and not Trump.
