US TO ENDS TIES WITH W.H.O

US President Donald Trump has said that the United States will end its relationship with the World Health Organization (WHO) on Friday.

Let’s look at the global statistics:

— Total confirmed cases: 6,085,993

— Total Deaths: 369,543

— Total Recovered: 2,695,996

— Nations with most cases: US (1,802,086), Brazil (469,510), Russia (396,575), Spain (285,644), UK (272,826).

Trump Targets China and W.H.O

Accusing the World Health Organization (WHO) of being “Totally controlled” by China, where the first case of the novel coronavirus emerged, US President Donald Trump announced the country will permanently “terminate” its relationship with the organization and will redirect funds from the WHO to other organizations.

Trump called out China for “espionage to steal our industrial secrets, of which there are many,” announced steps to protect American investors from Chinese financial practices, accused Beijing of “unlawfully claiming territory in the Pacific Ocean” and threatening freedom of navigation.    

Trump Takes Action against China

The President said the US would also take action on a number of other fronts, including barring “certain foreign nationals from China” from entering the US and sanctioning officials in China and Hong Kong for their direct or indirect role in “smothering” Hong Kong’s freedoms.

Trump goes after W.H.O

Trump had suspended US contributions to the WHO last month, accusing it of promoting China’s “disinformation” about the coronavirus outbreak, although WHO officials denied the accusation and China said it was transparent and open.
