Donald Trump threatens to cut funding to 'China-centric' World Health Organisation

Donald Trump has threatened to stop funding the World Health Organisation (WHO) and accused it of being “China-centric” as the US saw the highest 24-hour rise in coronavirus deaths of any country.

The US president said the WHO, an international body which promotes healthcare and improves access to medicine, had “called it wrong” on the pandemic, appearing to suggest it failed to alert other countries quickly enough.

“We’re going to put a hold on money spent to the WHO. We’re going to put a very powerful hold on it and we’re going to see,” Mr Trump said during a White House briefing on Covid-19 on Tuesday evening.

He later backtracked when pressed by reporters, saying he had not yet decided to pause the funding but that “we’re going to look at it."
