Trump was reportedly poised to restore partial funding to the WHO, matching China's assessed contribution – which is one-tenth of what US previously contributed.

WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday his administration was considering numerous proposals about the World Health Organization, including one in which Washington would pay about 10% of its former level.

Trump suspended U.S. contributions to the WHO on April 14, accusing it of promoting China's"disinformation" about the coronavirus outbreak and saying his administration would launch a review of the organization. WHO officials denied the claims and China has insisted it was transparent and open.
