Trump initially praised China’s response to the virus, but when Covid-19 outbreaks began cropping up in the United States in March he shifted his tone, attacking Beijing for refusing toabout the virus and its origins and accusing WHO leadership of enabling the cover up. “Chinese officials ignored their reporting obligations to the World Health Organization and pressured the World Health Organization to mislead the world when the virus was first discovered,” Trump said in his May 29 announcement.

But the Norwegian prime minister flatly denied Trump’s assertion that Beijing, alone, holds sway over WHO’s actions. “I don’t think China controls the World Health Organization,” she said.
