Coronavirus - Blame Game: WHO chief hits back at Pompeo's 'co-opted by China' claims

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has hit back at US claims the World Health Organization (WHO) has been "co-opted by China".

He said such allegations are "untrue and unacceptable" and warned against politicising the coronavirus pandemic.

Pompeo, referring to China at a press conference on Tuesday, said: "You can't go make claims for maritime regions that you have no lawful claim to.

WHO has been frequently criticised by the US administration over its handling of China during the pandemic.
