OREANDA-NEWS. US President Donald Trump demanded that the World Health Organization (WHO) make changes in its work and prove its independence from China within 30 days. According to the politician, if the organization does not do it, Washington will finally cease funding.

This is stated in a letter of Trump to the head of the WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. In addition to terminating funding, the US may withdraw its membership in the WHO, the message reads. “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,” Trump emphasized.

The document published on the President’s Twitter page says that the WHO took the wrong steps in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic, which is explained, among other things, with the organization’s dependence on China, which led to the wide spread of the new infection all over the world.
