Trump writes to Director General of the World Health Organization: “It is clear the repeated missteps by you and your organization in responding to the pandemic have been extremely costly for the world… That is why it is my duty, as President of the United States, to inform you that, if the World Health Organization does not commit to major substantive improvements within the next 30 days, I will make my temporary freeze of United States funding to the World Health Organization permanent and reconsider our membership in the organization.”
