USA - Trump flip flops again: Trump Says He Will Place Hold on WHO Funds Amid Coronavirus Pandemic

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the World Health Organization has made mistakes amid the coronavirus pandemic and he plans to place a "very powerful hold" on funding the group.

They actually criticized and disagreed with my travel ban at the time I did it," Trump said at the White House coronavirus task force briefing. "And they were wrong.

They've been wrong about a lot of things. They had a lot of information early … They seem to be very China-centric. We have to look into that, so we're going to look into it."

Trump said that WHO receives "vast amounts of money from the United States," adding it pays for the largest portion of the organization's funds. He said the organization "called it wrong."

"They missed the call," Trump said. "They could've called it months earlier. They would've known. They should've known, and they probably did know. So we'll be looking into that very carefully."
