Pres. Trump Threatens To Permanently Pull Membership From WHO

The US President issued an ultimatum to the World Health Organization (WHO), threatening to permanently cut funding unless significant changes are made within 30 days. The President accused WHO of being influenced by China and not taking early coronavirus reports seriously. He also called for WHO to show independence from China, citing allegations of information withholding at China's request, which WHO denied.
