She said that the Foreign Ministry “drew attention to the statements by the US Secretary of State about Washington’s plans to review the amount of funding for WHO."

“We consider the position taken by this state to be unconstructive, and such statements are untimely and counterproductive in the context of a growing pandemic,” Zakharova said.

Earlier, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that Washington is reviewing the amount of funding for WHO due to the low efficiency of its work against the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic COVID-19.

In turn, the American leader Donald Trump said that WHO receives a lot of money from the United States, while the organization “did not agree and criticized its decision to ban entry into the United States”, as well as “was mistaken in many things."
