REUTERS/Kevin LamarqueWASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump sharply criticised the World Health Organization on Tuesday , accusing it of being too focused on China and issuing bad advice during the coronavirus outbreak.
"The W.H.O. really blew it," Trump said in a Twitter post."For some reason, funded largely by the United States, yet very China centric. We will be giving that a good look. Fortunately I rejected their advice on keeping our borders open to China early on. Why did they give us such a faulty recommendation?"The W.H.O. really blew it. For some reason, funded largely by the United States, yet very China centric. We will be giving that a good look.
US conservatives have increasingly criticised the WHO during the global pandemic, saying it relied on faulty data from China about the outbreak of the novel coronavirus. Last week, Republican Senator Marco Rubio called for the resignation of WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, saying"he allowed Beijing to use the WHO to mislead the global community."
