Five U.S. Republican senators have joined the WHO hitting the World Health Organization (WHO), filing legislation requiring international multilateral organizations to evaluate their work.

Following President Donald Trump's declaration on the 14th of last month that the WHO will suspend more than $ 500 million a year in WHO funding for 60 days saying it is biased toward China in response to a new coronavirus infection, relative Republican lawmakers are also putting pressure on the WHO. There is.

Reuters reported on the 6th of the local time that five Republican lawmakers, including Senate Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman James Rishie and Foreign Ministers Mitt Romney, Marco Rubio, Todd Young, and David Purdue, jointly proposed the '2020 Multilateral Assistance Review Act'.

The law includes setting up a task force to assess how well multilateral organizations are doing their job and not contributing to the interests of the United States.

The targets of evaluation include 38 institutions including the World Bank, the World Bank, Asian and African and North American Development Banks, the European Revival Development Bank, AIDS and other international funds to combat disease, several UN agencies, and the International Committee of the Red Cross.

"We have seen the questionable action taken by WHO in the recent response to the spread of Corona 19," said Rishi. "The supervision of our support is very important."

The bill came as President Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that the United States' continued proliferation of Corona19 is because China failed to curb its initial spread and did not disclose information transparently.

Senator Todd Young has been demanding that WHO secretary-general Tedros Adhanom Gebreyesus attend a multilateral subcommittee under the Foreign Relations Committee, and Senator Martha Macsally of the same party recently called for the resignation of President Gebreyesus.

The Democratic Party has criticized the Trump administration for using China and the WHO to distract attention from the Corona 19 response failure responsibility theory, saying that it needs a WHO reform, but should not be attacked during the Corona 19 pandemic.

Bloomberg News Agency Democratic Party Chairman Elliott Engel sent a letter to Minister Pompey on Monday (27th) to request records regarding President Trump's decision to withhold WHO support, but was not filed until the 4th deadline, and is considering reviewing a subpoena. Reported.

"The WHO made a mistake in this unprecedented emergency process, and I will support reforms to strengthen the organization," Engel said in a letter at the time. "It's not the answer to cut the fund while the world faces the Corona 19 tragedy." Said.

Reuters said it was criticized as being too partisan in that it would be the task force chairman who would be responsible for evaluating the multilateral organization, and that Pompeo would be appointed by President Trump to appoint a member.
