NYT Reports President Trump Threatens Stop Funding World Health Organization (WHO)
The president says the W.H.O. must change or he will permanently end funding.
President Trump told the director-general of the World Health Organization he would permanently end all funding to the organization if it did not “commit to substantive improvements within the next 30 days,” according to a copy of a letter he posted to Twitter late Monday night.
Mr. Trump also wrote that the United States would reconsider its membership in the W.H.O. because it was “so clearly not serving America’s interests.”
“It is clear the repeated missteps by you and your organization in responding to the pandemic have been extremely costly for the world,” the president wrote in a four-page letter outlining his grievances against the organization and its leader, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

I agree that Trump should cut off both the CDC and the WHO. Their performance has been shameful and less than useless. Same goes in triplicate for the UN.

President Trump should take same action against CDC .. severely cut funding CDC as they have abandoned their primary role as Center for Disease Control .. expanding their efforts, resources and time to wide ranging subjects having absolutely nothing with infectious diseases … such as .. gun control violence .. transgender equality and acceptance .. gender reassignment .. global warming .. on and on.
The CDC is as much a FAILURE as is the WTO … cut funding to BOTH......
