However, Joe Biden says that if elected President, he will reverse the decision. The Trump administration started the formal process of leaving the WHO this week, following the Presidents fierce criticism of the health body as being under the total control of China. A WHO official told reporters Monday that We have received reports that the US has submitted formal notification to the UN secretary general that it is withdrawing from WHO effective 6 July 2021. The US gives more than $450m per year to the WHO and currently owes the body $200m, according to reports. Democrats used the announcement to bash Trumps coronavirus response. Senator Jeff Merkley, the top Democrat on the Senate foreign relations subcommittee said the development is a huge win for China and a huge blow to the American people. Meanwhile, the WHO itself stealthily updated a timeline on its website this week, admitting that China never reported its discovery of the coronavirus to the organisation, and that WHO officials learned about it independently when they were finally allowed to visit the country weeks after first requesting to do so. Breitbart News reported that The update came after Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee (HFAC) released an interim report on its investigation of Chinas response after it discovered cases of the coronavirus in Wuhan. 0 Comments The US has officially notified the United Nations that America is leaving the World Health Organisation, and the process will be completed one year from now on July 6 2021.

Breitbart News reported that The update came after Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee (HFAC) released an interim report on its investigation of Chinas response after it discovered cases of the coronavirus in Wuhan. HFAC Lead Republican and China Task Force chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) said in a statement: Im glad to see the WHO and the Chinese Communist Party have both read my interim report on the origins of the pandemic and are finally admitting to the world the truth the CCP never reported the virus outbreak to the WHO in violation of WHO regulations. The question now is whether the CCP will continue their false propaganda campaign that continues to claim they warned the world, or whether they will come clean and begin to work with the world health community to get to the bottom of this deadly pandemic. Appearing on Fox News, McCaul charged that the WHO cares less about global health than it does about appeasing China: Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
