Trump to stop funding World Health Organisation while US conducts a review of UN agency. Accuses WHO of failing in its response to covid-19 + spreading Chinese disinformation about its origin.

All of which has some validity. So it’s a pity Trump judged the outbreak a “very small problem” on January 30th, even as WHO finally declared it a global emergency, and joined with WHO in praising China’s efforts to contain the virus and its transparency.
