WASHINGTON (AN) — World leaders and public health authorities on Wednesday denounced U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to halt funding for the World Health Organization just as it coordinates global efforts against the COVID-19 pandemic.
The European Union said Trump has no reason to freeze payments to WHO while half the world is locked down fighting the virus. European Commission Vice President Josep Borrell said the 27-nation bloc's leaders “deeply regret" Trump's move to suspend WHO's funding.
