Announcing the withdrawal of US funding for the World Health Organization, President Trump laid out seven main charges against the organisation.
Here are the accusations in Mr Trump's own words - and how they compare to the facts.
1. The WHO is very China centric
The WHO represents 193 member countries. Its most senior experts and advisers tend to come from the West.
2. One of the most dangerous and costly decisions from the WHO was its disastrous decision to oppose travel restrictions from China and other nations
Under the International Health Regulations (2005), binding on all WHO member states, health measures shall not be more restrictive of international traffic and not more invasive or intrusive to persons than reasonably available alternatives.
The US that was pivotal in getting this law in place and it means the WHO can only recommend travel restrictions in the most extreme circumstances.
