President Donald Trump of United States, on Monday, revealed how the World Health Organisation and China connived to shutdown global economy.
In a letter to WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus Monday, seen by 9news Nigeria, Trump accused WHO of ignoring warnings from China during the first days of the virus’ detection in Wuhan, and later overly relied on Chinese statements that led to “grossly inaccurate or misleading” information about its spread.
It also accuses the WHO of being “curiously insistent on praising China for its ‘transparency’” and failing to call on Beijing to allow for an independent investigation into the origins of COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus.
Trump also revealed that he plans to make his temporary funding freeze to the WHO permanent unless “substantive improvements” are made, widening the political fallout from the coronavirus pandemic.
Trump also said he’ll reconsider the United States’ membership within the organization unless those improvements which are strongly suggested to include loosening its ties with China are made within 30 days.
“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,” the letter says.
