During a speech at a press conference, the head of state said that the United States intends to “suspend the allocation of funds that are spent on WHO.”
After that, he explained that Washington would only study such a possibility.
“No, I didn’t say it, I said that we will study what we are investigating, we will consider the termination of financing,” Trump quotes TASS.
Earlier, the American president noted that WHO receives a lot of money from the United States, while the organization “did not agree and criticized his decision to ban entry into the United States”, as well as “was mistaken about many things.”
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.
