Trump announces "Outage" to WHO

"The suspension of funding for the World Health Organization during the global health crisis sounds dangerous."  On April 14, local time, US President Trump announced at the White House press conference that the United States would suspend funding for the World Health Organization.  In this regard, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates criticized in this way.

On the 15th local time, Gates wrote in a Twitter post,"Suspending funding for the WORLD Health Organization in the midst of a global health crisis sounds dangerous."  Their work is slowing the viral epidemic of novel Coronavirus and if this work stops no other organization can replace them.Now, more than ever, the world needs WHO."

The same day, Trump announced at a news conference that the United States would suspend funding for the World Health Organization and review it.  Mr Trump said the scope of the review would include the WHO's role in "mishandling and concealing the truth about the spread of the virus".  He accused WHO of opposing the US government's decision to impose travel restrictions on China in the early stages of the outbreak, saying that "other countries listened to WHO and opened their doors to China, which in turn accelerated the spread of the virus".

On the day Trump announced he would suspend funding for the WHO, 602,989 confirmed COVID-19 cases, 25,575 deaths, and 308,1620 tests were reported in the United States as of 6 p.m. Eastern Time on April 14, according to the Global COVID-19 Real-time Statistics System released by Johns Hopkins University.  In the past 24 hours, there have been 25,682 new confirmed cases and 2,356 new deaths.
