Trump To WHO: I Will Reconsider US Membership If You Don’t Improve In 30 Days

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, has said that the country would reconsider it’s membership of the World Health Organisation (WHO) if it doesn’t do the right things within the next 30 days.

“If the WHO does not commit to major substantive improvements within the next 30 days, I will make my temporary freeze of United States funding to WHO permanent and reconsider our membership in the organization,” Trump stated in a letter to WHO’s DG, Tedros Adhanom, dated May 18.

Trump stated in the letter, that he decided to temporarily freeze funds to the health agency so as to carry out investigations surrounding the pandemic.

He maintained that the WHO under the leadership of Tedros Adhanom, misinformed the world and covered up China’s role in the covid-19 spread.

He urged WHO DG to follow the footsteps of one of his predecessors, Harlem Brundtland, who did not fail to criticize China for endangering global health by attempting to cover up the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003.

“Your political gamesmanship on this issue was deadly, as other governments, relying on your comments, delayed imposing life-saving restrictions on travel to and from China,” he stated.

“My administration has already started discussions with you in how to reform the organization.

“But action is needed quickly, we do not have time to waste,” the letter stated.

Furthermore, Trump also claimed that investigations showed that China racially discriminated against Africans in Guangzhou and that WHO knew about it.

“You have not commented on China’s racially discriminationary actions.

“You were aware that Chinese authorities were carrying out a campaign of forced quarantines, evictions and refusal services against the nationals of these countries,” Trump stated.

Recall that video footages of the manhandling of blacks in China surfaced online, resulting in a meeting between Nigeria’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Geoffery Onyeama and the China’s ambassador to Nigeria.

But China’s diplomat alleged that all foreign nationals were treated equally within the guidelines of China’s constitution.

But Trump claimed that there were proofs that the maltreatment of Africans in China were true, and that many Africa ambassadors wrote to China on those issues.

“On April 11, 2020, several African Ambassadors wrote to the Chinese Foreign Ministry about the discriminationary treatment of Africans related to the pandemic in Guangzhou and other cities in China,” he stated.

Recall that China had denied all U.S claims, adding that it is just a plot to score political points at the forth coming November presidential elections in U.S.
