Trump threatened to permanently end US funding to the World Health Organization and even reconsider the country's membership, citing a litany of criticisms of the organization's coronavirus response

President Donald Trump threatened to permanently end funding to the World Health Organization and reconsider the country's membership in the global health body in a Monday letter criticizing the organization for its coronavirus response.

The letter, which Trump publicly revealed in a tweet Monday evening and pinned to his Twitter account, listed a number of criticisms directed at the WHO concerning its initial response to the novel coronavirus in the early days of the outbreak in China.

"I cannot allow American taxpayer dollars to continue to finance an organization that, in its present state, is so clearly not serving America's interests," Trump's letter read.

*citing a litany of criticisms* You mean a baseless, petulant, unhinged tirade if you're the least bit concerned with accurate reporting.

Trait of a weak leader. They blame their failures on who ever they can find. In this case because he knows he can’t deal with China, his next best thing is the WHO. I feel sorry for the American people. TrumpMustGo

The WHO and the UN should find a way to exist without America. Start by moving physically from USA. MAGA wants to be alone, let them

Donald Trump is a threat to the entire world. He's got to go.

How could the WHO not paint Trump a saint and a role model in responding to their early warnings? How could they make him wait this long to take Covid-19 seriously. Shame on them.

ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied So yeah, the WHO didn't work too well in this case. Not trustworthy and we need that money to help here, not pay their salaries and travel.

Yo. Where's the great america assassin when we need one?

Can’t stand Trump, but he’s not wrong here. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Sure he botched this from his side too, but so did the majority of the rest of the world...because of WHO and China’s misleadings.

I would support that. The WHO has proven that it really does not have the health of the citizens of earth in their highest interest

I know, they hurt his feelings, poor thing.

The US President is not currently the leader of the free world!

Anybody bother to fact check the claims, or it doesn't matter because trump said so?

Support, why don't the U.S. quit the earth? 🤣🤣

As it should. Dr Tedros is also a former member of the Tigray People's Liberation Front- a terrorist organization.

Such BS! I can not wait until we have an adult in charge again! VoteBiden2020

Is this the Blame WHO week?

Rod Rosenstein and Nancy Messonnier’s services will no longer be needed for the USA.

Proper decision. See Taiwan.

Well, there's certainly no one more well qualified on woeful covid-19 response than realDonaldTrump !

Good, The WHO along with China are responsible for tens of thousands of American dead... You don't pay people to kill our citizens. Remember these?

HEY WORLD. Mightily rewarded (by the world) if anyone releases those trump tax returns, loan documents, medical records, videos. GOP is cool with *corruption investigations.

'The Matrix' Helmer Lilly Wachowski Blasts Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump for Film Referenced TweetAfter Musk took to Twitter on Sunday to encourage his followers to 'take the red pill,' in which Trump responded 'taken,' Wachowski criticized the Tesla creator and first daughter: 'F— both of you,' she wrote. This is not news We neo now matrix Anyone defending or siding with Trump at this point is complicit in murder. Every two or three days his administration allows another 9/11 to happen in terms of deaths. This isn’t about left vs. right, it’s right vs. wrong. Sad to see EM join this crew, with blood on his hands.

Divisions appear in Trump administration on role of CDC in COVID-19 testingAs the country continues to reopen, divisions appear to be developing within the Trump administration specifically on the performance of the CDC at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. White House adviser Peter Navarro said “Early on in this crisis…the CDC really let the country down with the testing.” Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar said, “I don’t believe the CDC let this country down.” They can't even coordinate their lies? SecAzar you’re afraid to take personal responsibility & to point the finger to the primary responsible. That person is realDonaldTrump ! He’s the one who failed the world and Americans! Now it’s easy to put the blame CDCgov. HHSGov has a lot to answer to the American people Who let who down!
