Donald Trump’s Administration Agrees To Partial Funding To WHO

The US President Donald Trump administration will “agree to pay up to what China pays in assessed contributions” to the WHO

MUMBAI| The USA President Donald Trump’s administration is all set to restore partial funding to the World Health Organisation, Fox News reported in late hours on Friday, citing a draft letter.

Fox News reported, quoting the letter, that Trump administration will “agree to pay up to what China pays in assessed contributions” to the WHO.

The USA President Trump suspended US contribution to the WHO on April 14, accusing it of promoting China’s “disinformation” about the coronavirus outbreak and saying his administration would launch a review of the organisation. WHO officials denied the claims and China has insisted it was transparent and open.

The USA is the biggest donor of WHO. If the US matches China’s contribution, as the Fox reports add, it’s new funding level will be about one-tenth of its previous funding amount of about $400 million per year.
