Government for help after more than a 1000 coronavirus cases importance there its. So the United States is facing a growing backlash favorites threat to public hold funding to the w. H. O. Thats after president on the trump said the organizations missteps have come out on extreme cost and i think theyve done a. Very sad job in the last period of time and again the United States pays them 450000000. 00 a year china pays them 38000000000. 00 a year and theyre a puppet of china they are china centric to put it nicely but theyre a puppet of china. Well russia has become the latest global power to condemn trumps threats its a Deputy Foreign minister has been quoted as saying it is against the breaking of the w. H. O. For another members political preferences earlier china accused the us of attempting to avoid responsibility for the handling of its own outbreak it said the trucks remarks were meant to criticize chinas response efforts made the u. S. Tries to use china as an issue to shirk responsibility and bargain over its International Obligations to the w. H. O. This is a miscalculation and the u. S. Has picked the wrong target and they want. The u. S. Leaders open later is full of hints perhaps and maybes and tries to use specious methods to mislead the public and achieve the goals of smearing chinas anti virus if its an shoot responsibility for the United States on insufficient response this is futile and always comes as Member States voted for an independent investigation into the response to the pandemic and thats something the head of the organization has welcomed amid criticism from donald trump well well get reaction from our white house cross one of that can be held at just a member 1st lets go to i said reg in london with more on this. Inquiry and it one unanimous support as it. Yes it did which is pretty remarkable no objections from the 194 members but it didnt always seem that way when this resolution was initially proposed before the assembly before the assembly actually took place it was proposed by a stray yet that they wanted an independent investigation to look at the origins of the virus that angered china because although they were mentioned by name they felt that beijing was being targeted and that led to a bit of a diplomatic spat between china and australia but this resolution was put forward by the European Union it had to back 144 cosponsors and china didnt object not trying to says that they support an investigation although they wanted to take place once the virus has been brought under control and that the resolution calls for an independent impartial and comprehensive review into the response to the virus including but not limited to the olds performance also once an investigation this resolution also calls for an investigation in to look at these zoonotic sources of the origins of the virus and how it transferred from animals to humans then undoubtedly they will be looking at china for that now the director general dr ted ross has said that he will initiate the investigation at the appropriate moment meanwhile we have the ultimatum from the us president about withdrawing funds unless the w. H. O. Come up with some concrete repast. Yes President Donald Trump wrote this letter he published it on twitter hes given that 30 days although he hasnt said what he wants to see in those 30 days old dont know what he wants to see in 30 days but the deadly hate youll have defended themselves against allegations leveled at them by the United States say that they warned the world early on in early january of the risk of human to human transmission that they declared the virus a Public Health emergency of International Concern one day before the United States announced a partial ban on flights from china now said that this investigation will be transparent and it will be accountable but over the last 2 days there have been calling for solidarity and unity but also more funding but now theyre facing threats from the u. S. President donald trump to have a large chunk of their funding cut thanks very much indeed as a break in london lets cross the atlantic to. The white house a president i think on his way or is that capitol hill to meet with republicans and the been saying anything any more. Well we did hear from the u. S. President just before he left for the u. S. Capitol to meet with republicans for a luncheon the u. S. President for his part was asked a little bit more about his threat to permanently cut funding to the World Health Organization the u. S. President saying at the white house that essentially the World Health Organization in his view needs to clean up its act he said he said that his letter outlining his issues with the body are is detailed and long but essentially his argument is much like weve heard him with respect to speaking about the trade relationship with china the u. S. President saying that the World Health Organization is not fair to the United States and if that behavior doesnt change then he says the United States wont be involved anymore it really is very similar to the talk that we heard from the u. S. President on the campaign trail for example when he said that the trade relationship with china was unfair he used strong arm tactics in order to try and achieve structural change putting in place ask relating trade war with tariffs on chinese goods into the United States that we should point out hurt many of the people that supported him in winning the election including farmers in 2016 so the u. S. President interestingly as he was talking about aid to farmers who have been hurt by covert 19 made these comments here at the white house just now and we expect that he may say even more on capitol hill but the bottom line is the argument from this white house and this president is that the american taxpayers footing the bill is the main contributor to the World Health Organization the United States is now experiencing economic carnage because the u. S. President says that china and also the World Health Organization did not do enough to warn the United States about corona virus so he is encouraged this review the United States or u. S. Mission to the u. N. Says that they are looking for a complete understanding of the virus and the timeline and again the u. S. President not afraid of using sort of punitive measures saying that this 30 day review if he doesnt like the outcome those cuts to the World Health Organization in terms of the u. S. Contribution monetary only will be permanent when we heard much from the girl macross about this that will be the perspective on. Well we have to remember that the money on capitol hill is controlled by both republicans and democrats. Democrats for their part have been very critical as have many in capitol hill with respect to the fact that they feel that the World Health Organization is a valuable global body its well respected its one that many turn to in times of pandemic in times of crisis and this is not the time to be threatening to up an end kind of the global order of things but again the u. S. President doesnt seem to mind up ending tradition in fact hes kind of become known as the disrupter in chief still weve heard from many Top DemocratsChuck Schumer in the senate now too closely the leader in the house of representatives who are gravely concerned about the United States perhaps not moving forward as a part of this body contributing to this body and feeling that that could have an enormous impact on americans moving forward but for now this is what the u. S. President is threatening and he says hes going to make good on that promise. But separate from the White House Committee how could. I let him know from babbitt she was a political analyst of the Russian State News Agency ross you know and he explains why russia is being so vocal about this. The russian the representative from their walled Health Organization greta sized they us removed saying that it was counterproductive and had the Russian Foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said that of course wont help that when i say she needs reform but based reform should be based on facts not on the more since it should not be used for political means right now the impression i share is that mr trump has failed the situation with corona virus in the United States is bad its wars and then in the country that United States considers its enemies its wars then in china its was not in iran its was not in russia so mr drum decided to make the World Health Organization escapable thats not the right way to go because we need International Cooperation maybe its not perfect now but to reduce it to 0 would be just to do what you russia would of course try to respond collectively because despite their very core style a q q a from the European Union and from do they the states the russian elite has been trying to cooperate with the west at least for the last 35 years since the war but to have came to power it was a never ending process of russia making overtures to the west making concessions of course we cannot sustain the wall council when i was asian for all money but if there is a collective action to prop up the wall calendar when i was asian to come up with something that would Link International corporation lore effective russia would be a willing participant.
