US President Donald Trump has sent a letter to the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) threatening to pull US funding permanently over Covid-19.
The letter outlines a 30-day deadline for the body to commit to “substantive improvements” or risk losing millions and US membership altogether.
Addressed to WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, it criticises stages of the body’s response since December.
Earlier on Monday, Mr Trump called the UN’s health body a “puppet of China”.
President Trump spent the weekend at Camp David, where he tweeted out praise for the “great job” his administration had done responding to the coronavirus pandemic. Meanwhile, health experts warn a vaccine may still be far off and Congress can’t come to terms on additional stimulus measures. Nikole Killion reports.
Former President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, reportedly criticised his successor, Donald Trump’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. The country has turned into an epicentre of the Sars-Cov-2 coronavirus outbreak with over 12.4 lakh cases and over 75,000 deaths so far. Obama reportedly described the Trump administration’s response to the crisis as ‘chaotic’, ‘spotty’, and ‘anemic’. He was reportedly speaking to 3,000 members of the Obama Alumni Association, people who had served in his administration. Obama also sought support for Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden, who had served as Vice President in his administration. Watch the full video for more.
