In a message to the World Health Organization, Trump said that the organization had ignored reports of the outbreak of the new corona virus in Wuhan in December 2019.

“The World Health Organization has published misinformation about the Corona virus, especially as it is not transmitted between people,” he added.

The US President confirmed that the World Health Organization had failed to publicly invite China to open an independent investigation into the source of the emerging corona virus “Covid-19”.

He explained that the Chinese President, Xi Jinping, pressured the World Health Organization to say that the emerging coronavirus does not pose a threat to health in the world.

The United States is the largest donor to the World Health Organization, with a financial contribution of about $ 450 million annually.

For weeks, the US president has accused the international organization of not issuing sufficient early warning about the deadly virus and of blindly driving behind China, which denies US accusations of covering up the scale of the epidemic when it appeared in Wuhan (central) late last year.

On Monday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo condemned the World Health Organization’s delay in taking a decision on granting observer status to Taiwan, noting that the organization’s position confirmed Washington’s accusations that it was being held hostage to China.

Pompeo said that WHO Director General Tedros Adhanum Gebriusos “deprives him of his independence (the World Health Organization) from Taiwan’s prestigious epidemiological experience and further harms the WHO’s credibility and effectiveness at a time the world needs more than ever.”

Taiwan has achieved notable success in fighting the epidemic, with only 7 deaths and nearly 400 injuries recorded, despite its geographical and commercial proximity to the mainland, where Covid-19 appeared for the first time.

The United States also accuses the World Health Organization of turning a blind eye to an early warning it received from Taiwan about the severity of the virus.
