Former U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told CNBC Tuesday that he is 'deeply, deeply concerned' about the state of global politics.

Former U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told CNBC Tuesday that he is "deeply, deeply concerned" about the state of global politics and described current global leaders' focus on "short-term political gains" as shameful.

"I'm really urging the United States to really show their global leadership based on global vision as they did when they were leading this establishment, founding the United Nations 75 years ago," he added.U.S's withdrawal from the World Health Organization Trump halted U.S. funding for the WHO back in April as his administration conducted a review of the organization. That review then outlined what the White House perceived as "repeated missteps" during the early stages of the pandemic. Trump has also previously cited what he called "the World Health Organization's role in severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of the coronavirus." A formal withdrawal from the WHO began last month.

Speaking about the international response to the Covid-19 crisis from his home base of South Korea, Ban said the country had been a relative success story with its handling of the pandemic,Ban said adopted policies such as the "Three Ts Plus P" — "testing, tracing, treatment and participation" — had helped the population and government work closely together against the virus.

CNBC expreading Chinese propaganda in an election year!!!! Should be ashamed

Global leadership? We don’t even have competent national leadership.

He can call out America but don’t call out DrTedros for wasting resources in sending I don’t know how many teams to China to interview Wuhan lab and dissections of bats since the start.WHO keep telling use the same thing like it’s not zoonotic and bats have COVID for decades

Yea it’s morally wrong to cover up too who

Where Mr. Kim is wrong is that US *IS* showing leadership by withdrawing from WHO. Every UN member angry with WHO corruption by the CCP should withdraw from the WHO until the entire CCP funded WHO leadership is replaced.

Looking at the mess Trump has created here what makes you think he can be a global leader? He doesn't know the meaning of the word.

The UN is a joke too. China on the human rights council ? Heavy bias against Israel ? They are useless.

We don’t need the UN or the who

the action was against the present leadership of WHO, not the organization itself

No thanks we’ll pass!

CLEAN UP WHO first ...

Communistcast

Ex-UN chief is talking about 'moral' to someone who doesn't know how to pronounce Thailand? Is he following the U.S. news? 🤣

chenweihua Link -

Coming from the guy who ran one of the most corrupt organizations ever!

MORALLY These guys.... how can you even publis this. WHO is an entity currupted by the CCP. Defund the WHO.

The UN and the WHO have been corrupted by the CCP. Why is the UN silent about Uyghur genocide? Why is the WHO silent about the Covid cover up by China?

They feeling the pain in their pocket 😂😂😂😂

Shut down UN?

CNBC... honestly...do you think anyone really cares what this guy says or thinks?

chenweihua It is not morally wrong useless UN. UN and UNSC is a shit group. It has all the fools. It does not reflect the modern world. Thrash the UN

With our current leadership, he can't even get a good accurate CV test for this nation. Are you sure you want him doing this damage to the world?

This is not financial related news story at all. In fact, it isn’t news at all.

So a corrupted organization killing thousands of people is not morally wrong. A punishment became “morally wrong”.

It’s not America it’s the USA. America is North, Central and South

True!
