Donald Trump hints at rejoining WHO. But, he has this condition

India Today  

US President Donald Trump is mulling rejoining the World Health Organisation, a week after signing an executive order pulling the US out of the global health body. Not only will the WHO lose its biggest donor, the US withdrawal will also make Americans lose vital information from the global health agency which could add an enormous threat to the country. They note that those battling tuberculosis, the world's biggest infectious disease killer, and HIV/AIDS and other health emergencies, could be at a high risk due to the exit. Trump told the crowd in Las Vegas he was unhappy that the US paid more to the WHO than China, which has a much bigger population.
