The US President Donald Trump has snapped ties with WHO (World Health Organisation) especially due to handling of coronavirus controlling efforts as the death rates are increasing manifold in the US. Even Brazil faced the same fate.
The virus killed more than 3,64,000 people making disarray to the global economy. The speed in which virus spreads is dangerous. At the same time, Europe opening lockdown restrictions as infection steadily falling down.
Italy's Leaning Tower of Pisa opened Parsians for the first time. While Latin America facing tuff hurdles, specific to Brazil, death toll went up more than one thousand on a single day. The pressure was on WHO. Trump stopped funding to WHO to the tune of several thousands of millions of dollars at a time when UN agency is desperate.
Earlier, funding was suspended to WHO by trump due to inaction by WHO in controlling spread of coronavirus and very lethargic with China where virus emerged. The present decision of cutting funds is permanent which was a blow to agency's finances. The contribution was $400 million last year. Trump categorically addressed reporters that he will be using funds to other global pubic health needs, to serve the concerned better.
Let us hope the problems are set right soon between Trump and WHO.
