The World Health Organization said on Monday an independent review of the global coronavirus response would begin as soon as possible and it received backing and a hefty pledge of funds from China, in the spotlight as the origin of the pandemic.

But the WHO’s chief critic, the U.S. administration of President Donald Trump, decried an “apparent attempt to conceal this outbreak by at least one member state”.

“We must be frank about one of the primary reasons this outbreak spun out of control,” he said. “There was a failure by this organization to obtain the information that the world needed, and that failure cost many lives.” Tedros, who has always promised a review, told the forum it would come “at the earliest appropriate moment” and make recommendations for the future. He received robust backing from the WHO’s independent oversight panel.

It also said “an imperfect and evolving understanding” was not unusual when a new disease emerged and, in an apparent rejoinder to Trump, said a “rising politicization of pandemic response” was hindering the effort to defeat the virus. China has previously opposed calls for a review of the origin and spread of the coronavirus, but Xi signalled that Beijing would accept an impartial evaluation of the global response, once the pandemic is brought under control.

That's nothing compared to the damage it has caused the world. The recent U.S. stimulus package cost $2 trillion alone.

In February and March, many Chinese people transfer to other parts of the world via Hong Kong Airport.That’s why HK gov not closed customs!!!

Who and social ☭ comunist lie and lie Spain 🤮🤮🤮

The CCP controls the WHO . Anything coming out of that camp is to push the CCPs global agenda . Cannot be trusted!

Trump just wants a witch-hunt, so he can blame others and distract from his own failures.

This is US media’s game: play with words to spin, influence, imply and brainwash without coming right out about what they are actually saying.

Thank America for the $2 billion to the WHO because it came at the expense of China stealing our TECH and CREATING KNOCKOFFS OF OUR PRODUCTS. US IS STILL THE BIGGEST CONTRIBUTOR OF THE WHO!

WHO. One more global organization where Trump is ceding leadership.

Can we guess what that $2B is going to? How about a payoff to the WHO for a 'favorable' result? ChinaLiedPeopleDied

Kungfu agent.. WHO

U.S making more & more enemies. Not good long run. May be good for Trump & his reelection short run. We are not alone on this God's beautiful earth. There are 7 billion souls. The others may not be as pretty as Americans. They too God's creation. Shunning them is shunning God!

Is the world redefining CORRUPTION?

Wuhan Virus👎

Uncle when will vaccine or treatment come

I think 2 billion USD is not enough for the incapability of the Chinese government and damages done by the Covid 19 spread which can be easily contained and controlled by the Chinese And adding also the Destruction of the samples of Covid ordered by Chinese government

More & more Corruption as China, the WHO & UN unite to bring global CORRUPTION to a new height...

The UK was the origin of the pandemic !

Who needs WHO?

If China gives you 2 billion dollars are we suppose to believe any investigation you carry out will be independent and not influenced by such a large payment? Especially as it is clear u already are scared of them by refusing to talk about Taiwan

U.S. will attack no matter what. So there's no point of the review at all because it's not about the health care. One thing Trump administration proved again and again is that they don't have the ability to handle things as they were. They make everything end with his election.

the only reason they are upping their donations is so that we will have to up are's

Oops- China just beat Trump again at his own game...

China is 100% responsible for this becoming a global pandemic. They covered it up for a month and allowed all of wuhan to fly globally while at the same time restricting domestic travel into China.

Tedros's pathetic. He's a victim of the Sino US conflict

Canadian premier said China mishandled coronavirus, then China sniped back in a big way'A large body of facts and data suggest that China did not play down, obfuscate or cover up the dangers posed by the novel coronavirus when it emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan,' the Chinese consulate stated.
