Former British Prime Minister Brown: Trump's suspension of funding of WHO is "self-harming"

  Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said in an interview with Deutsche Welle on the 16th local time that US President Trump ’s decision to suspend funding to the World Health Organization was “self-harming”.

  Moderator: Mr. Brown, what do you think of Trump ’s announcement to suspend funding for the World Health Organization?

  Former British Prime Minister Brown: On March 26, Trump signed a statement at the G20 leaders ’meeting, promising to strengthen WHO ’s responsibilities (in terms of coordinating international anti-epidemic actions) and fill WHO ’s funds to respond to the outbreak Gap, provide more funds for WHO to develop vaccines to help developing countries solve their problems. President Trump ’s approach is not only illogical, but also self-harming. If Germany or the United States wants to protect itself, it needs global cooperation. If the second or even third round of outbreaks in Africa or developing countries causes the outbreak to recur in Western countries, then we will be blamed for not helping African countries and WHO because they do not have a complete medical system and social security It is impossible to implement measures to maintain social distance like Western countries.
