BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union joined worldwide condemnation of U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to halt funding to the World Health Organization, saying on Wednesday it was unjustified during the coronavirus pandemic.

“Deeply regret U.S. decision to suspend funding to WHO. There is no reason justifying this move at a moment when their efforts are needed more than ever,” EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said on Twitter.

The United States is the WHO’s biggest overall donor.

The travel ban isn’t really a travel ban.

And if the EU doesn’t stop its gob, more people may figure that out...

Yeah, the EU also complained about flights being grounded and called Trump a racist for stopping flights from China.

Sound and fury, signifying nothing.

What’s creepy is how Deep Stater (Goldman/HBS/Navy Intel/Trump traitor) Steve Bannon has been pitching Ben Carson as the new head of WHO for some time now. He says it is going to happen, but hasn’t been announced yet.

Ol’ Ben seems like a nice guy, but was presumably paid off to run for president in 2016, has zero experience in public health or pandemics, and would presumably be just another Deep State puppet for the globalists to run rings around.

Bannon refers to Ben as “checking all the boxes”, by which he can only mean 1) MD, 2) AA, 3) has done something in government, 4) is sufficiently blackmailed for DS/intel control, and 5) could get Trump’s support.

2banana :" Ask China to pick up the slack. "

No,.. TELL CHINA to pick up the slack !
China didn't report the disease in Wuhan until January 21; so what was China doing during this 'lag time' from identifying the disease, until they reported it ?
They prepped themselves by purchasing Personal Protection Equipment, N-95 respirators, ventilators, and other equipment from abroad,
and recalled all Chinese manufactured equipment that they had stored elsewhere, in foreign warehouses.
They knew what disease they had on their hands and without signaling to the rest of the world, they took care and made efforts to protect themselves,
while keeping the rest of the world ignorant of the medical situation.
Therefore, this 'lag time', actually demonstrates depraved indifference to the rest of the world.
The true crime is not just the 'lag time' in failure to notify the rest of the world, but also their medical preparation activities during this lag time.
Knowing of the disease, the government allowed their own citizens to celebrate New Years, spreading the disease,
and at the conclusion of the holiday, allowing the infected to disperse internationally.
This indicates international malice with intent and prejudice !

lots of laughs in the replies:

Tweet: Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations
As the world fights #COVID19, we are also fighting an epidemic of harmful falsehoods & lies.
I’m announcing a new @UN Communications Response initiative to spread facts & science, countering the scourge of misinformation - a poison putting more lives at risk.
