The reasoning behind the decision, Trump says, is that they “failed to adequately obtain, vet, and share information in a timely and transparent fashion.”
The reality is that the WHO failed to adequately obtain, vet, and share information in a timely and transparent fashion.

Trump supporters cheered the move, like Terrance K. Williams who said “America First” and “The WHO has been playing games with our health and safety so they don’t deserve our money.”
YES HE DID IT!!! AMERICA FIRST. President Trump officially halted US funding to the World Health organization. The WHO has been playing games with our health and safety so they don’t deserve our money. They put China first so they should ask China for $$

Democrats blasted the move and the DNC released a statement, which was shared by Yamiche Alcindor, that said, “Trump is willing to put global health further at risk to try to deflect blame from his own failures. But the American people know the truth: It was Trump who ignored warnings for months.”
