US President Donald Trump has announced that he was
freezing all funding to the World Health Organization blaming it for
accelerating the coronavirus pandemic by opposing travel bans from China, which
Trump supported.
'Today I'm instructing my administration to halt funding of
the World Health Organization while a review is conducted to assess the World
Health Organization's role in severly mismanaging the spread of the
coronavirus,' Trump announced in the White House Rose Garden.
Trump said WHO's 'attack on travel restrictions put
political correctness above life-saving measures.'
In a scathing attack on the UN agency, he accused the WHO
of failing to investigate “credible reports of what was happening in Wuhan” if
they didn’t match up with official accounts from the Chinese government.
“They've deprived the international scientific community of
essential data,” Mr Trump said.
