- A review will be conducted to evaluate the World Health Organization's role in seriously mismanaging and hiding the spread of the corona virus, Trump said.

Trump says he has major doubts about whether the US money was used in the best possible way within the UN agency and claims that if the WHO had sent experts to China, the coronavirus outbreak could have been halted.

Biggest sensor

The United States is the WHO's largest donor, with about $ 400 million last year.

"With the outbreak of the covid-19 pandemic, we have a deep concern about whether US generosity has been used in the best possible way," says Trump.

The press conference initially showed a more downtrodden president than yesterday, when Trump shared a commercial about his efforts to stop the pandemic, and went to work with journalists on the spot. CNN described the press conference as "derelict".

Backed in part

Trump also backed in part from his claims that the president's powers are total, by saying that it is up to the respective governor to decide when the self-quarantine can be released.

- There are many states that are in a very good situation, they could open now, he says, pointing out that for others it can take significantly longer.

The president says he will talk to all the governors within a day or two.

- Health and life are number one.

However, the press conference was not entirely trouble-free, where Trump threatened to leave the podium unless a reporter kept silent.
