Coronavirus | Backing Trump, U.S. Republicans call for WHO chief to resign

The Hindu  

Republican U.S. lawmakers echoed President Donald Trump's criticism of the World Health Organisation on Thursday, with some suggesting he withhold aid until the U.N. agency's director general resigns while others called for an international investigation of its handling of the coronavirus. Seventeen of Mr. Trump's fellow Republicans on the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee wrote a letter to Mr. Trump supporting his announcement this week that he was withholding funding for the WHO, and saying he should make the resumption of contributions conditional on the resignation of Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Mr. Trump drew immediate condemnation on Tuesday from many world leaders and health experts, as well as U.S. Democrats, after saying he would halt U.S. funding of the Geneva-based WHO over its handling of the coronavirus pandemic. ‘Lost faith in WHO chief’ In their letter, the House Republicans said they had lost faith in Mr. Tedros and blamed the WHO and Chinese Communist Party for the extent of the current global health crisis, although they praised the “vital role” the WHO plays around the world.
