President Donald Trump announced Tuesday at the White House that he would put a hold on funding to the World Health Organization amid the coronavirus crisis.
“They were wrong about a lot of things,” Trump said.
The president noted that the World Health Organization receives more from the United States than any other country, and would require accounting for their failure to properly alarm the world about the coronavirus outbreak.
“We want to look into the World Health Organization because they really called it wrong,” Trump said. “They missed the call, they could have called it months earlier, they would have known, they should have known, and they probably did know.”
The president noted that the WHO actually criticized his travel ban from China that he set in late January.
“Such restrictions can have the effect of increasing fear and stigma, with little public health benefit,” WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said about travel bans just days after Trump banned travel from China.
Trump said the WHO frequently sided with China despite heavy criticism for their lack of transparency about the virus.
“They seem to be very China-centric,” he said. “That’s a nice way of saying it, but they seem to be very China-centric, and they seem to err always on the side of China.”
Trump accused the global organization of also getting a lot wrong about the virus.
“It’s a great thing when it works, but when they call every shot wrong, it’s no good,” he said.
Later in the briefing, reporters asked why he would freeze funding to the WHO in the middle of a pandemic.

Like he is making it up.
Gheeze it's obvious that WHO is and has been helping China hide facts which caused thousands to die.
Makes it look like Jillian is a propagandist for China and WHO.
Does FOX NEWS have special classes for hosts where they teach them how to subtly make Trump look bad?
Yeah I'm not too fond of the hosts of F and F first. What happened to the blond Heather Childers that did the first hour?
What a good personality she had, and very professional too.
Plus when her hour was up she would smile and wave to me....
I don’t know who is running Breitbart now, but it’s become the internet version of a supermarket tabloid. Andrew must be spinning in his grave. It’s getting so you should just ignore anything with that link on it. Why would anyone post this in “breaking news”? It’s not news, the damned last sentence in the article admits that it’s pure speculation and it’s not true.
fake news. said he was going to look into it but title said he has already done it. fake news

Ask not for whom the Prez trolls,
He trolls for thee!
I think more accurately is that he put a “HOLD” on funding pending an investigation. I think this is another good step away from U.N. globalism and back to America centric.
They should have to apply for funds and demonstrate their worthiness as well as proving that they are getting equitable funding from everyone else.
WHA, Interpol, and UN next, replace all china’s seat with Taiwan
Sorry, WHO. Money needed elsewhere.
UN out of US.
US out of UN.
I had to question the seriousness of the WHO when (due to all my medical problems and investigating) it seems EVERY drug that ever existed is on their “list of Essential Medicine”. I mean, aspirin and every version of penicillin, sure, but turns out they have an endless list. It’s meaningless.
And the UN is further not helping their cause putting a 3rd-world commie at the head of the human rights commission because it’s “their turn”. What a disgusting joke the whole UN is.
THATS MY PRESIDENT TRUMP !!!! THANK YOU SIR !!!
FOAD whoRE’S...
Americans should ask themselves after the performance of WHO in this pandemic....
Would we be better off taking that 100 million and preparing every year for an epidemic or should we continue to fund a bureaucracy that is owned by China and acts as a mouthpiece for the CCP?
Good!
GOOD!!!
“Headline is FAKE news click-bait.”
Exactly
“I’m not saying I’m going to do it. But we’re going to look at it,” the president said.
“They missed the call, they could have called it months earlier, they would have known, they should have known, and they probably did know.”
What does that even mean?
This is from their Twitter feed on January 9th

“World Health Organization (WHO)
@WHO
Protect yourself & reduce risk from #coronavirus infection:
Hand hygiene
Cover mouth & nose when coughing & sneezing
Thoroughly cook meat & eggs
Avoid close contact with anyone with respiratory illness
Avoid close contact with wild or live farm animals”
The WHO are crooks and globalists. The second biggest donor apart from the USA is Bill Gates, and he is eager to have us all chipped and to reduce world population through vaccines. The guy leading them is crooked also.
WINNING!!!! ARE YOU TIRED OF WINNING YET????
GOOD
Good news!
WINNING but I can imagine the hate Trump brigade is going to go all in on this one.
