US suspended World Health Organization financing

US President Donald Trump announced that the United States is completing funding for the World Health Organization (WHO). In his opinion, the organization was unable to cope with its duties and functions during the coronavirus pandemic. Moreover, Trump accused WHO of concealing data on the spread of the disease.

The head of the White House also noted that the United States will look for alternative ways to work with other countries on health issues. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has supported Donald Trump's criticism of the World Health Organization, but saying that Australia will continue to make contributions.

According to Morrison, WHO did not pay due attention to the problem of the virus during its first appearance in China and did not take appropriate measures. Donald Trump also accused the organization of opposing the US decision to close the border with China.

Many countries criticized the decision of the American president.
