UNITED States (U.S.) President Donald Trump has threatened to permanently pull funding from the World Health Organisation (WHO), if it does not commit
to “major substantive improvements” within 30 days, according to a letter to the WHO chief shared by Trump on Twitter.
Trump said he would make a temporary freeze of funding permanent and might also reconsider U.S. membership of the organisation at the end of the 30-day deadline if he saw no improvements. “I cannot allow American taxpayer dollars to continue to finance an organisation that, in its present state, is so clearly not serving America’s interests,” Trump concluded.The U.S. president faced international criticism when he announced in April that he would be halting funding to the WHO while a 60- to 90-day review took place.Trump has repeatedly accused the organisation of failing in its response to the coronavirus pandemic.That funding is largely appropriated by Congress.
