Trump Cuts US Funding to WHO

Steve Herman

   WHITE HOUSE - U.S. funding to the World Health Organization is being
   halted by President Donald Trump, who blames it for creating "a 20-fold
   increase" in COVID-19 cases worldwide.

   The U.N. health agency, according to Trump, made a "disastrous
   decision" to oppose his restrictions on travel from China and put
   "political correctness above life-saving measures."

   The action had been expected as Trump repeatedly signaled the move
   after accusing the WHO of having a bias in favor of China, despite the
   United States being its largest single funder.
