Washington, May 30
President Donald Trump has announced that the US will terminate its relationship with the World Health Organisation, saying it had failed to undertake the "greatly needed reforms and misled the world on the coronavirus. He also announced issuing a proclamation to deny entry to certain Chinese nationals and tightening regulations against Chinese investment in America.
"Because they have failed to make the requested and greatly needed reforms, we will today terminate our relationship with the WHO, redirecting those funds to other worldwide and deserving, urgent global public health needs," Trump said. Announcing measures aimed at punishing China, he claimed: "China has total control over the WHO".
The US President said the "world needs answers from China on the virus. We must have transparency." He said China had "instigated" a global pandemic that had cost over 100,000 American lives. — PTI
