Washington Following differences over the global corona virus, US President Donald Trump has formally separated the United States from the World Health Organization. U.S. Rep. Bob Menendez tweeted the news on Tuesday. "Congress has received information from the headquarters that the United States has formally seceded from the WHO during the Corona epidemic," he said. He said that in the midst of this epidemic, Trump's decision would isolate the United States.
It should be noted that Trump had accused the WHO of being under the complete control of China and the United States was severing ties with it. Trump also accused the WHO of failing to provide accurate information on coronavirus prevention. Trump cut off funding to the WHO in April, saying the United States would cut off funding to the WHO forever if the agency did not improve within 30 days. will give.
Congress received notification that POTUS officially withdrew the U.S. from the @WHO in the midst of a pandemic.

To call Trump’s response to COVID chaotic & incoherent doesn't do it justice. This won't protect American lives or interests—it leaves Americans sick & America alone.
In May, however, Trump confirmed that the United States was withdrawing from the WHO and that the agency would be provided with funding for global health needs. President Donald Trump has said that China controls the WHO despite giving it 40 40 million a year, while the United States provides a grant of about 4 450 million a year.
