Kelly Craft meets with President Trump at the White House on Dec. 5, 2019. Craft says the president acted out of"moral obligation" when he said he would halt funding for the WHO.
The ambassador's comments come at a time when President Trump is seen trying to sidestep blame for his early response to the crisis. With polls showing that more Americansof his handling of the coronavirus than approve, Trump is facing growing scrutiny over whether he waited too long to take steps that health experts say could have slowed the spread of the virus.
Asked how pausing U.S. funding for the WHO would improve the response for a crisis that has killed more thanand nearly 28,000 in the U.S. alone, Craft said,"I can't answer about what we are going to uncover." She added, however,"We are the largest contributors by far to humanitarian causes throughout the United Nations."

salliesilvers Inaction for 70 days by trump is unforgivable! Trump failed to protect America! Trump is the greatest failure of a president in American history!
Anything to redirect his portion of responsibility for the radically unprepared response to an easily predictable health risk, even continuing with the same mentality that got us to this point.
I admire the ability of Trump to find assholes who support his idiotic decisions.
She supports her boss's decision to withhold funds from the WHO and expects them to 'turn this around?' That's about what I expect from one of Trump's cronies.
It’s time for WHO to blacklist the US for false accusations, dangerous propoganda & interference during a pandemic as a non-contributing, non- cooperating, non-conforming, rougue member working against international health guidelines & not taking steps to protect its own citizens
All the while Trump is unaccountable for anything. HeIsAJoke
But Trump should not be accountable!
What a shame. This administration took us back in time to the dark ages
Another non-independent voice. Yes, your majesty, you are the sun I revolve around..
Why doesn’t she tell Trump to show more accountability & stop blaming it out
daswenson That's not how it works. TrumpVirus
Uhm didn’t he appoint her?
Laughable that Trump wants accountability from the WHO but either can't or won't provide accountability from the White House.
This is news?
The only person denying accountability is the president.
Yet again... GAO says Trump administration broke law
You have to suspect anybody who has so little self value, as to work for Trump.
Ambassador will say anything as she can't afford to lose her job and miss payments on her vacation home at Mar-a-Virus. Even if people die!
When your position is indefensible, your lackeys come out sounding like this^
Political appointee. So what?
Failed Fox News reader and noted hack says what ? realDonaldTrump GOPChairwoman GOPLeader GOP SenateGOP nice try GOP
Embarrassing
Shocker...Trump’s Ambassador agrees with him. Why is that news?
That was painful to listen to. USAmbUN sole purpose is to defend and cover up the failures of POTUS - and that was an awkward stumbling mess. They have no shame.
Kelly Craft: Her (3rd) husband is a billionaire coal-mining executive for Alliance Resource Partners the third-largest coal producer in the eastern US. 'Now I ain't saying she's a coal-digger...'
Pathetic
An independent voice!
It is hilarious to me that she’s critiquing another agency’s accountability even as her boss has said he takes no responsibility at all. Perhaps a brief detour to the dictionary to define “irony” is in order.
What she didn't say but should have is that WHO well into February was still saying the virus was not easily spread from person to person. That was Chinese propaganda and it was false.
“Unforgivable” is the new buzzword. How very Christian. 🙃
From not even two months ago:
The lack of awareness displayed by the ambassador was staggering - even in the face of facts. God help us.
It’s about time!!! The WHO is s defunct organization. Should of happened decades ago
Why are you promoting his propaganda?
Psalm 91:2
WHO is corrupt, China failed to report !!
There is NO ONE you can blame this on...shove it off on... NO ONE. This is ALL ON YOU Trump. This is a HORRIBLE decision. HORRIBLE.
Yes the ambassador who donated 2M to Trumps campaign (that's how she got the job) as well as supported Marco Rubio and strongly support mitch McConnell!! OF COURSE SHE IS GOING TO DEFEND ! Really? This was your big story of importance?
Bs
Agreed just like trump did to American citizens. Unforgivable! TrumpVirus TrumpIsANationalDisgrace
what would you expect a Trump sycophant to say...
I wonder if Nikki Haley still wants a piece of this administration
How the hell does Kraft sleep at night? Where do they find these people willing to sell their souls to spout Trump's ridiculous propaganda? GOP is culpable in this Trump mess, and appeasement doesn't work with dictators.
Not one word from this administration is credible.
Another ambassador to weak to speak up. How high do i jump my leader. Oh by the way can i keep my job now. Spineless !!
Her name and qualifications are
Mad sycophants, bro. It's definitely a cult.
Maybe if the US wasn’t delinquent on the WHO’s payment we would have gotten better service That’s how business is done in the real world
History will judge this Administration and it will not be kind judgement. The real criminals here are all the sycophants and cowards who are enabling him to go from bad to worse actions, thus endangering the whole planet. Which is nothing short but a Hague waiting to happen.
Says USAmbUN who bought the post like so many other unqualified realDonaldTrump admins TheUselessGOP DestroyTheGOP LockThemAllUp
$2 million she and her husband donated to gop candidates.
Is this the 'both sides of the science' bimbo? Yeeeeeah not surprised. Another Trump bootlicker
DOWNWARD DOGMA
The Game Show Host Needs More Accountability
Well, of course she did. She's no fool. She wants to keep her job. When the boss lies, you lie, too.
She also going to say that our mindless leader should show accountability, for his far FAR more blatant mishandling of this situation? The WHO was sending out warnings, the WHO tried to get the US to take this seriously, all the while donnie was still calling it a hoax.
Puppet
NPR: Chinese apologists! We all know you side with!
He found an ambassador to appoint who is either dumb or willing to agree with him on anything
Trump's ambassador agrees with him. And in this morning's other headlines the sun will rise in the east today.
Good grief. Do better reporting.
Seriously? Did you expect that to go any other way?!
Ok, so, when it comes to asking the PRESIDENT of the US to do something, it's 'the governors' job' to mitigate a NATIONAL emergency, but when it comes to the WHO, an international entity separate from the US, it needs to drop everything just to pander to us.
Oh, yeah. “They” are responsible for all of this 🙄🙄🙄
this from the least accountable American administration in history
This is ridiculous. Stop spreading right wing propaganda.
Just another Trump sycophant.
This woman doesn’t know Jack shit about anything.
🙄 foolishness. Straight foolishness from this administration. I'm not shocked by a single ridiculous thing they do or say at this point. Once he tried to find something else to blame his failings on, they were all in. Trash.
Holy crap. How much did she donate?
People keep forgetting about South Korea. Unless they want to. Everyone said why are their numbers low? We know they have investigators gather information and acted. WHO is suppose to do that. Not funnel money to 3rd world dictators, hide data, refuse to give documents.
And this is news because
Wow. Trump asking someone else to take responsibility when things go wrong. Sounds a lot like projection, he should turn that question around on himself. Shirk, blame, shirk, blame, the cycle never ends with this one does it.
then she's another POS 💥💥💥
Who’s this ding bat?
Let's not rewrite history, you sycophant.
More accountability. Do what I say, not what I do. 🙄
FYI...The US Gov't has yet to pay their dues from last year.
The U.S. ambassador to the U.N. is just one of many DRAFT DODGER flunkies.
The Trump administration left 'unforgivable' a while back. They are closing in very quickly on 'Damned for all eternity'
Of course. Trump sucker-upper. realDonaldTrump
She‘s a Republican!! Of course she will stick up for Trump? Republican!! Hello!
I'm going to assume Kelly Craft is some rich person who bribed Trump in some way to get this position. --- The Crafts have 'quite rare' 'Gold Level' memberships at Trump hotels. The Crafts, owners of the 3rd biggest coal mine, also donated over 2 million to Trump's campaign.
This is all so much childish idiocy.
How much did hubby Joe Craft pay Trump for your appointment, AmbKellyCraft ?
Another of Trump’s sock puppets. This too shall pass, but Trump is leaving retreating glacier like scars upon the whole world that will take several generations to heal.
Thank you, Trump donor trophy wife, for your astute analysis.
In case people don't know, the woman is Kelly Craft who Trump appointed as the U.S ambassador to the U.N early last year. Might want to take what she says with a huge grain of Salt.
Trump’s toothless travel ban from China had so many exceptions that thousands of people still came into United States
When you point a finger three points back at you. Make sure you have your proof before you do it especially publicly.
What else is she going to say?
Good
This is not news. Puppet play. Please.
Trump has surrounded himself with enablers. He has built himself a narcissist paradise.
These days, to say anything different from what el Presidente want or says would be the end of one's career.
Because trumps D**k won't suck itself.
What else do you expect from Trump’s puppet ambassador to the UN?!
This administration will blame everyone but themselves. Our intelligence did their job and let those in charge know, they failed, how do we know, we have 30% of cases, 20% of deaths and we're less than 5% of population. And still haven't killed enough.
Next week Trump will restart funding and say, ' I fixed it!'
Maybe talking to them first would have been a better place to start?
Probably bc she didn’t want to get fired by the man child.
This administration is totally sick. Everyone's to blame except them, when the administration holds all the cards.
Trump’s shameful behavior is unforgivable. His denial that the crisis was a danger to us for nearly 2 months is unforgivable.
Of course. Another embarrassing incompetent Trump sycophant.
U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. as appointed byyyyyyy...........?
It's friggin Kelly Craft. tRUMP appointee, big tRUMP/GOP donor, wife of KY coal magnate...OF COURSE she would parrot tRUMP!
All the outraged liberals on this thread are gonna be so miserable when trump is still their president in 2021 2022 2023 and 2024 lmfao
Great, now de-fund the UN
Maybe he should’ve filled the US vacancy on the WHO board
Did the UN Ambassador say that before or after bending over...?
Really? How about 29 days in February when our used car salesman of a president sat on his big fat ass!
Trump probably saying what's a few more enemies to the USA
Baaaaaaa baaa.🐑
Good work, Trump. The left just hates holding the who accountable.
Nobody wants to get rid of the WHO. Just the corrupt people running it. Defunding is the fastest way to accomplish that. But don't expect the NPR audience to understand that. They act like woke children.
Nikkki Haley?
realDonaldTrump 👌💪♥️
Of course you did 🙄
Trumps ambassador to UN agrees with him and that’s news ?
Just one of trump’s sheep.
Let's first start with Trump showing more accountability.
The WHO was wrong on everything they said.
