Trump had previously criticized the work of the World Health Organization in the context of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

According to him, WHO recommended the United States not to suspend the reception of passengers from China, when the spread of the new coronavirus was just beginning, but he ignored this recommendation.
