The Trump administration is on the brink of restoring funding to the World Health Organization, a month after the president announced that U.S. funding would be suspended while the government investigated the WHO's response to the coronavirus pandemic.

According to a five-page draft letter to WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus obtained by "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Friday, the administration will "agree to pay up to what China pays in assessed contributions" to the WHO."We're told the president supposedly has agreed to sign the letter if he hasn't already," host Tucker Carlson said Friday. "It'd be interesting to know who convinced him to do that.

"Despite [its] shortcomings, I believe that the WHO still has tremendous potential, and want to see the WHO live up to this potential, particularly now during this global crisis" the draft letter reads, apparently in President Trump's voice. Previous U.S. funding of the WHO amounted to about $400 million per year. If the U.S. does match China's contributions, the new funding level will be about one-tenth of that amount.

The draft letter begins by stating that the U.S. review of the WHO's coronavirus response "has confirmed many of the concerns I [Trump] raised last month and identified others." It concludes by calling for "commonsense reforms of the WHO," including "a universal review mechanism to publicly report on member state compliance with International Health Regulations ... including timely and effective declarations of Public Health Emergencies of International Concern.

Oops. Fox wrong again.

Don't give those LYING SOB'S a wooden nickle !!

Sure give them money to be China’s mouthpiece.

That guys have a piece of garbage

Don't provide or release any funds to WHO, according to the news, they lied and people died, one US dollar should be enough

After a month trump abandoned the WHO, he will not be able to pay for it. Explain how they made coronaviruses in the Chinese laboratory.

damn what talk is this .... Gotcha my vote not just normal🏦🏦🏦🏦🏦

Boo!

Griff - And welcome back - You do know after all Pete's training - it is hard for him to social distance? - He had - arrrrrmy training -

This MONSTER needs to be judged at the world court for the GENOCIDE he enable...

Goldstatetimes NOOOOOOOO Please don't!

realDonaldTrump Don't give W.H.O. a single penny!!!! They helped China cover up this pandemic & it cost thousands of lives & trillions of dollars in lost wages & debt to the U.S.....if you're going to give it away....give it to the American people!!!!

A few million to inflame the Nancy Pelosis lover Pelosi of the congress..Too much irony here!! 🙂

If he started a new branch of the military, why not start a new international health organization. The WHO is a corrupt walk-in chop shop.

I would not give them one dime, not one dime.... Screw Who, let China fund them.

Bad idea Trump !! WHO needs to restructure it's management first.

It was always a distraction in the first place. Never takes responsibility for his failures.

Why? Has Fauci gotten to him?

To hell with them

Americans brain is overheating... First they tell them is the WHO fault and cut funding and now they say after investigation they will support WHO .. So should you believe last months trump or the new trump?

oh look

No!

The World Health Organization said Friday that although a market in the Chinese city of Wuhan selling live animals likely played a significant role in the emergence of the new coronavirus, it does not recommend that such markets be shut down globally. Says WHO Peter Ben Embarek😎

Just arrest him and trial him,then put under investigation the entire WHO system and staff,the same should be done to UN as they’re corrupted and promoting sex crimes etc in many countries exploiting their status, especially the peace force .This World must b changed by USA!

This is another Trump's saga. Defunding WHO was embarrassing, only justified by a manufactured conspiracy with the purpose of deflecting blame.

Not a good idea.

HELL NO!

Don’t do it realDonaldTrump you were right stopping it! They lied and helped China cover up!!!

realDonaldTrump I don’t know who is talking in your ear about this but be smart.

No, say it isn't TRUE!

Fake

Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci are behind the Pandemic. Bill owns the patterns for this Corona Virus that was created by Fauci who's also responsible for Aids spreading across the world Please watch and share this it is very important

DONT FORGET TO TUNE IN TOMORROW TO HEAR OBAMA’s address to the graduating classes of the United States. They wanted him to speak, a smart, educated, classy TRUTHFUL man and great president, and not this creepy disgrace we have as our fake president.

Oh, ugh! Don't wimp out against this 'group'. No more Doormat America!

I hope it is only 10.00. We should not be a major contributor to them.

Should only be on the condition the WHO leadership is replaced

Noooooo

Why doesnt he give it directly to China's propaganda firm? Would be more efficient

They're not trustworthy

Instead of dismantling WHO, a useless organization ?

Why?

Do not do it realDonaldTrump

To cut the head off the snake means to stop a larger problem by aiming at the source - often the leader, or a major culprit. The rest of the problem will naturally die off without that source.

No. We dont need the WHO and we sure dont need to fund them

Another Trump flip flop.

Great move by admin. You put added pressure on China now in a world view. Well played. China gives more they admit guilt. Smart!

Backed down like a sniveling coward when his idiotic decision backfired, and let his supporters down at the same time.

Trump if you’re playing 4D chess right now you better not screw this up. W.H.O. is as dirty as $5 whore. realDonaldTrump WHO RealJamesWoods PrisonPlanet

Why?

FOX - CNN THEY ARE ALL THE SAME ! OANN IS WHERE I GO !

realDonaldTrump - No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No

Ridiculous. At worst, WHO is corrupt, but at best, they are incompetent and/or ineffective. Any spending on WHO is a poor investment until they get their house in order.

DONT DO IT... and fire Fauci

What Trump going to do makes no sense...

No don’t do it!!! No money for who

No

IDK who the president is listening to now, but he should just stick with his first impressions.

Not happy about this at all . They were complicit in causing this global pandemic and causing much pain to the american people. WTF?

Noooooo

Yay, yet another let down after looking so good. President Too Good To Be True.

Fire this China puppy DrTedros

Nooooooooioo

Don't get the who shit

No money for WHO

Trump should look at his own failed response, first.

NOOOOOO-this guy must resign....He is not even an MD!

People are saying Trump is building the nations largest cemetery for all the victims of his incompetence.
