The US President kept his promise. America will stop transferring money to the World Health Organization.
A week ago, Donald Trump said that the World Health Organization “fooled” everything. The US president was outraged that WHO was focusing on China during the coronavirus pandemic.
“For some reason, the WHO is giving its full attention to China, although most of its sponsorship is given by the United States,” he tweeted and promised to review the amount of payments.
He promised and did. At a press conference at the White House, Trump said that the United States would temporarily stop funding WHO.
“If WHO did its job and brought medical experts to China to objectively assess the situation on the ground and declare the lack of transparency of official information, the outbreak could be contained,” said Donald Trump.
Note that the US share in WHO funding was the largest. last year America donated $ 400 million, which is about 15% of the organization’s entire budget.
“This is a continuation of the line that the Trump administration has pursued from the very beginning with regard to international organizations in general. Trump and his many advisers and associates – both former and current – fundamentally believe that all these international structures are a pointless thing, and for the United States, apart from expenses, they do not give anything. Trump’s political philosophy is profit. If there is no benefit, then why then? ” – said Fyodor Lukyanov, director for scientific work of the Valdai International Discussion Club.
