Trump threatens to permanently cut off WHO funding, withdraw US membership

It's not immediately clear how Trump would withhold those funds, much of which are appropriated by Congress. The president typically does not have the authority to unilaterally redirect congressional funding.

In the Monday letter, the president said the review "confirmed many of the serious concerns I raised last month." It also outlines what the White House perceived as "repeated missteps" by the organization and its director-general, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. The letter echoes Trump's previous complaint that the WHO resisted issuing a travel advisory in the early days of the outbreak. When the agency declared the situation a global health emergency in late January, Tedros advised countries against imposing "measures that unnecessarily interfere with international trade or travel."

Trump's letter also repeats growing scrutiny over how the WHO handles information reported by China. The president previous accused the agency of being "China centric." "The only way forward for the World Health Organization is if it can actually demonstrate independence from China ... I cannot allow American taxpayer dollars to continue to finance an organization that, in its present state, is so clearly not serving America's interests," the letter said.— CNBC's Berkeley Lovelace Jr. and Noah Higgins- Dunn contributed to this report.

We need to work together...the entire world. Trump removing the US, hurts not just the world, but the US. Why can’t or why won’t the people see this? The Country is in so much trouble. 😔

Good news

It is a private company made to look like a charity...cut off the funding.

Good

But it has 'World' in the name! That means it's totally useful and not full of shit!

I mean...he’s not wrong

Good! Maybe he will cut funding for Fauci next.

Hey

That's how a world leader sounds 🤛👏👏 Over rated and hyped organization

WHO is founded by Gates and pharma.. health is irrelevant, only profit matters! WHO Offered $20 Million Bribe To See Coronavirus Medicine Poisoned, Madagascar President! Gates Offers Nigerian House of Reps $10 Million Bribe for Speedy Passage of Compulsory Covid-19 Vaccine Bill!

Mexico gave the world 2009 swine flu and the world came together and defeated it.

He can only make it “permanent” for about 170 days. We’ll be back to normal soon, World!

Just do it and stfu about it. Enough with the threats.

HE ACTS INTERNATIONALLY AS HE DOES IN THE US.

TrumpLiedAmericansDied Coming from a man who created a third of the world's cases.

What if there's no one to sound an alarm? No one to bringing countries together for a response..... Viruses would be having a field day. Thank you WHO DrTedros

No more money for WHO would be great

only until next year

Ok I agree with the orange for once.

Good. F em. They lied to the word

If all of these allegations are true, this isa major concern to the world.

And this is smart forward thinking? Or the distraction throes of an oddball quirk manifested into a deluded destructive president as America's retaliation to its first black President? America has shown it cant be trusted as it still is a gun-toting wild west selfish country.

won't happen.. he just wants to sound tough in front of his voters

This contents of this letter should be taught at schools and universities... AmericaFirst ChinaLiedPeopleDied

....that would make the Bill & Melinda Gate Foundation the WHO's largest donor. I can see some problems there....

Trump is Monkeys Germ Enemy of American citizens

The WHO was just purchased by China.

They can relax, it will be back on after November. TrumpHasNoPlan

Like Mike Flynn told the Russians'Just Wait' on tha same note WHO'Just Wait til November'!!!!

WHO needs to admit Taiwan as an observer is ther only way to demonstrate they aren't under Communist China's influence. Health matters should be separated from politics.

Smart business is to keep your seat at the table. Trump never had to operate that way. If not for his father’s $ he wouldn’t have made it this far.

Trumps2ndWave coming sooner rather than later, fueled by a tRUmp imposed lack of front line troops.

WHO cares.

Well done 👍🏼

Good....stop threatening and do it! He's full of 💩

WHO is not for our life but for China's glowing face.

The CCP told the WHO it wasn’t human to human transmissible and recommended to keep all borders open whilst closing flights from Wuhan to the rest of China but encouraged 5 million people to travel from Wuhan around the world and seed the virus everywhere, CCP manipulated the WHO

Mfk 1

Show his 4 of letter. Self explanatory. Viewers don't need cnbc to explain it. But could report how many countries calling for investigation into how WHO is almost as responsible as china

The WHO is almost as responsible for speeding this virus on the world as China is.

Another instance of the White House employing the old political strategy: to deflect, deny and direct blame to others for its own problems and failures. As the worst virus-hit country, Trump is still playing blame game instead of solving real problems.

We should they are a waste

Great idea! We don’t need those liars that protected China!

Yes!!! realDonaldTrump please do so! We don't need them! We have amazing experts like DrJudyAMikovits and DrButtar who can lead the way for America!

Hurrayyyy !!!!

Thank God. The US is an embarrassment.

Yawn... Stop making news of what Trump says... it’s not news... Now when he fires an IG... No wait, that’s not news either... Face it GOP gave Trump a Pass, he’s King now.

What if The Baha Men were never asking who let the dogs out but telling us that WHO let the dogs out

Good ✔

Absolutely the right call by realDonaldTrump. He is doing something about the single biggest reason COVID is now a global pandemic.

Fantastic. Then Russia and China sweep in and begin running that show.

Anything to distract the media from talking about the 90,000+ dead

Good. No Global Government

Barr moves to DISMISS CHARGES OF 13 RUSSIANS WHO ATTACKED OUR ELECTION!

“Art of a WHO deal”

I’m so tired and sick of all Trump’s threats and anger ... That’s all he does ... He knows he’ll create Mayhem and madness and that’s what he needs ! He loves CHAOS ! It nourishes his EGO ! He really should get to work ! And stop TWEETING !

And he should.

Atta boy

It’s nauseating. How long are Republicans going to sit back and watch this ignorant, incompetent toddler reduce our standing in the world to less than dirt? They are complicit. Dogpatch

This was the right move. The WHO misinformed the world about COVID-19 by parroting Chinese propoganda. This delayed the response by other countries and caused many thousands more deaths.

I see we've started our whiny toddler rants so early in the evening......such a poor baby realDonaldTrump is.

We know. This is big news.

That's ok...he won't be President for much longer.

What right has he to stop the funding without seeking consensus from the two Houses who represent all Americans!

put in Taiwan already.

Isnt gonna change the fact that he spent months calling this a hoax instead of preparing the US

Best Presiden ever!

I woke up to this screaming dumb shit.

And tomorrow CNBC will sight three or four pro WHO articles. You know, for spite, because MSM hates the President more than love of country. FTR, the President is right!

Permanently or 6 months.

Make it official POTUS! ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied

That's great, the US already withdrew from the UNESCO, United Nations Human Rights Council, Paris Agreement etc. The WHO is going to be the next.

UN too please! 🙏

The USA is melting the Deep State iceberg with flamethrowers 🔥

I think Trump is intentionally doing this to allow China to gain control of WHO since they are now giving them $2 billion.

Relax, he's just 'negotiating'! 🙉🙈🙊

Isolation works the best in creating the demise of a great nation

As he should

White House adviser Peter Navarro said “Early on in this crisis…the CDC really let the country down with the testing.” Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar said, “I don’t believe the CDC let this country down.” They can't even coordinate their lies? SecAzar you’re afraid to take personal responsibility & to point the finger to the primary responsible. That person is realDonaldTrump ! He’s the one who failed the world and Americans!
