The Hill: Trump threatens permanent freeze on WHO funding without 'major' reforms within 30 days
President Trump on Monday threatened to permanently halt U.S. funding for the World Health Organization (WHO) if the body does not commit to "major substantive improvements" in the next 30 days.
The president, in a letter to WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, levied a series of allegations that the global health entity overlooked or ignored various warning signs about the coronavirus and criticized its stance toward China during the pandemic.
"We do not have time to waste," he wrote. "That is why it is my duty, as President of the United Staes, to inform you that, if the World Health Organization does not commit to major substantive improvements within the next 30 days, I will make my temporary freeze of United States funding to the World Health Organization permanent and reconsider our membership in the organization."

Update: Trump Gives WHO 30 Days for 'Improvements', Threatens Permanent Funding Freeze, End of US Membership (Sputnik).
WNU Editor: Barring Taiwan from attending today's WHO summit. Vague promises to have an independent evaluation/review. No sense of accountability from the World Health Organization during Monday's summit that under their watch a terrible pandemic is now gripping the world. What we had instead was the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres blaming other countries instead of WHO .... As US claims WHO ‘failure’, UN chief scolds countries that ‘ignored’ its warnings (France 24). With such rot at the top, there is no way that a vaccine or treatment will be coming from WHO. It has become politicized. And it is clear from today's summit that rhetoric aside, there is going to be no clean-up of the organization or reforms. Not now. Not later.
