The WHO declared the coronavirus outbreak a global pandemic on March 11, a timing it justified on the basis that the disease had taken hold in enough countries around the world.

President Donald Trump has leveled several criticisms against the World Health Organization, the Geneva-based multilateral organization that is leading the international response to the coronavirus pandemic. Trump has also threatened to withdraw funding from the specialized agency of the United Nations.

From late January to early February, the WHO met with China's leaderships, convened meetings with hundreds of experts and donors to discuss the outbreak and again visited Wuhan to speak with health officials, scientists and caregivers at the city's hospitals. WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus also started holding daily press briefings during which he urged countries around the world to start taking decisive action to limit the disease's spread.

Trump himself appears to have first mentioned the virus in public during a TV interview from Davos, Switzerland on Jan. 22, just a day after the

BOYCOTT oneworldtogetherathome...it’s nothing but a celebrity fund raiser for the WHO

This is a biased and one-sided BS opinion piece...nothing but trash. WHO totally screwed the USA!

Well this is a quandary: who do you trust more? Ha haha!!!

Stupid strikes again!

This USA Today fact check is a piece of crap! If the WHO was not slow to react then Trump certainly was not slow to react! Jan 14 WHO claims no human to human transfer!!!!! China travel ban Jan 31. WHO does not recommend travel ban? Come on man! EnemyOfThePeople FakeNews

No need for a fat check, we know that Trump lies. Trump lied, Americans died. Trump continues to lie, Americans continue to die. Dump Trump 2020 & save American lives!!

I

Ruben.. when you open your mouth to comment it's a danger.

Whole idea of WHO is to fact check countries when such global health crisis happens. Instead they become a propaganda tool for the Chinese Communist party. Now USA Today is carrying the torch. Nice Job!

trump is full of crap.

Defund the WHO

TRUMP KNEW ABOUT THE POTENTIAL CRISIS OF THE NOVEL COVID-19 VIRUS BACK IN NOV 2019!!! USA INTELLIGENCE REPORTED IT TO HIM & HIS REGIME BUT TRUMP DOWNPLAYED THE THREAT, IGNORED EXPERT INTELLIGENCE & DELAYED 'PLANNING' & IMPLEMENTING A SUCCESSFUL RESPONSE!!!

Did WHO know in November?

Gee I wonder who you will side with

You just have to blame this on Trump, somehow, someway. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Sack the WHO chief

Americans still defending The Con-Man. Your Guy was told the first time in November. The Intelligence Agncy briefed him but he paid no heed. Navarro, in his Cabinet gave Trump a world Memo in December. Both admitted he got it. He needed Job ’s and Wall Street more than your life

fucktrump

USA Today = Fake News

Fact Checking USAToday ..... mostly false

Trump blames to cover his own but. He knows when News Media focus on Timeline with Details/confirm of what he knew and when he knew it His Butt will be in a Wringer. I am glad is not laying down while he project his Sin onto Them.

Just a con artis performing... Wake Up America

Wake Up America. Trump told you we have nothing to worry about, we won't suffet, it's all a Democratic ploy. Let alone he was told to worry about this? What did he do ?allowed 20,000 people to die, then blames others to cover what a worthless self he is.. Wake Up America...

Conveniently left out that WHO declared Wuhan virus and not spreading person to person could in January. Wrong!!

So the USA today is now controlled by China you guys should just stop

Greetings everyone here's your opportunity to join the great Illuminati brotherhood and be free from any disease cuz the illuminati don't get infected with Corona virus Dm us now if you are interested in joining HAIL ILLUMINATI 🔺🔺

right time you gotta be kidding me it was a bad time DrTedros took blood money from China and was complicit in silencing Taiwan

The WHO stated the coronavirus couldn't be spread person to person. USA TODAY left that little morsel of information out!

I strongly believe there's some serious forces to make the world suffer. What's the role Bill gates in this covid19? I believe he's inside this thing. Some globalists are out to manipulate everything. Fact check rubbish!!

ChinaToday

WHO is a pro China UN organization. They lie. They withhold information. They don’t deserve a penny of our money.

God just help us

Trump needs to be removed from office. He's only a danger to the world and has no idea what he's actually doing and his handling of the pandemic is some of the worst leadership skills I have ever seen displayed. Don't believe me, we never got the SARS virus under the Bush regime.

Two months too late, maybe if they weren't repeating Communist China propaganda, we could have mitigated this epidemic more.

.realDonaldTrump .NIH .VP .LindseyGrahamSC The Who is solely responsible for the death of thousands Americans and countless others around the World. If you cannot do the job step aside instead of allowing such negligence

This WHO representative is a well know corrupted terrorist with ties to the CCP

I think the realDonaldTrump would be right to stop funding the WHO !

TeamTrump

No one going to trust WHO after this time. What’s the word..... Tragic.

After saying it wasn’t transmitted from human to human.

WHO cover up for CCP

Everyone who thinks US would be in better position now if only China had shared more info is sadly mistaken. The White House had plenty of info in plenty of time. Trump *chose* not to listen to experts. He *chose* not to respond. That's on him, not China.

china has only budgeted $42mil while USA pays $442mil 🤔

The World should be against WHO. They knew about the Wuhan Virus and covered for CCP.

WHO is also controlled by the CCP
