Trump Blasts World Health Organization

Saying “every step that they made, everything that they said was wrong and always in favor of China” (Fox News).  The US is rethinking their funding of WHO (Red State).  

From the National Review Editorial Board: Congress should investigate Chinese influence on the WHO, and the U.S. should use its ample funding of the organization as leverage to demand transparency about its dealings with China. Our continued participation in the WHO should be in play. In its moment of testing, the organization kowtowed to Beijing rather than serve the public interest, and the world paid the price (National Review). 

The New York Times responded with this overtly biased tweet: President Trump threatened to withhold funding from the World Health Organization even as a deadly virus ravages nations around the globe. He tried to blame the W.H.O. for the very missteps and failures that have been leveled at him and his administration (Twitter).
