Jimmy Carter 'distressed' by Trump halting funding to WHO

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former President Jimmy Carter on Wednesday became the latest figure to criticize President Trump's announcement that he will halt U.S. funding to the World Health Organization (WHO).

"I am distressed by the decision to withhold critically needed U.S. funding for the World Health Organization, especially during an international pandemic," Carter said in a statement released by the Carter Center Wednesday afternoon.

"WHO is the only international organization capable of leading the effort to control this virus," Carter added.

Trump announced the halt to funding Tuesday, criticizing the WHO for its condemnation of his restrictions on travel from China during the early stages of the coronavirus outbreak and accusing the organization of over-reliance on the Chinese government's assurances. Both Trump and the WHO praised Chinese leadership on the virus in early 2020.

2. I think it's time someone walks in with some authority . Everyone know he has taken ALOT OF THE

money for his own use....

Why doesn't everyone just ditch him and forget about him.

There MUST BE A WAY. I am getting really mad....but I'm too old to do anything about it.
