BIG NEWS : Trump Announces Ban on WHO Funding, Accuses for Hiding Epidemic
Washington : US President Donald Trump has accused the World Health Organization (WHO) of misinforming every aspect of the coronavirus epidemic. Not only this, US President Donald Trump said that he is ‘stopping’ the funding of this international organization ‘World Health Organization’. Coronavirus has created a panic all over the world. The highest number of cases of coronavirus have been reported in the United States, while the highest number of deaths due to corona has occurred in Italy, Spain, France and America.
Trump said at his regular press conference at the White House, “We are going to put a cap on the amount we spend on WHO.” We are going to put a very impressive stop on this. If it works then it would have been a very good thing.” The World Health Organization headquarters is located in Geneva and receives large sums of money from the US.
Trump alleged, “We give them most or the largest part of the funding they receive. When I imposed a travel ban they did not agree with him and criticized it. They were wrong. They have been wrong about many things. They already had a lot of information and seems to be China-centric to a large extent.”
He said that his administration would consider funding the WHO to be provided by the US. He said, “We give them more than $ 5.8 million. $ 58 million is a small fraction of the money they have been given over the years. Sometimes they get much more than this.”
