Trump is blaming the WHO for his tardy handling of COVID19 in the USA. This is BS of course but a lot of Trumpies will suck it up.
The WHO held that there could not be human to human transmission of the Covid 19 virus and that the US should not have stopped travel from China.How wrong did they get it?
I can assure you,that the US Administration will be reducing the USA's voluntary contributions ( +/- a $ 150 million) to the WHO as a result of the WHO's ,China promoting ,of the situation.
You likely did not see this :-
"Among the many provisions in the $2.2 trillion coronavirus relief package that appear to have little to do with the immediate crisis at home is a nearly $11 billion pot of money for three international development groups.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) – which the House of Representatives is expected to vote on Friday – includes the funding authorizations for the African Development Fund (ADF), the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the International Development Association (IDA)."
As always the US is expected to contribute much more than a fair share.
