5月29日(周五),特朗普在白宫玫瑰园记者会上表示,美国将停止向世界卫生组织(WHO)提供资金,并称要退出该组织。
特朗普在记者会上不断向世卫组织施加压力,他表示,美国将终止与世界卫生组织的关系,因为世界卫生组织未能达到标准,该机构急需改革。此外,美国将会重新分配资金给全球其他地方,以此满足全球紧急公共卫生需求。
但据世卫组织网站显示,美国目前欠世卫组织的会费超过2亿美元。不知道, 不差钱的美国在完全退出世卫生组织之前是否能遵守承诺还清所欠下的会费。
The United States will end its relationship with the World Health Organization (WHO) over the body's handling of the coronavirus pandemic, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday.
Speaking in the White House Rose Garden, Trump asserted that the agency had pressured to "mislead the world."
"Because they have failed to make the requested and greatly needed reforms, we will be today terminating our relationship with the World Health Organization and redirecting those funds to other worldwide and deserving urgent global public health needs," Trump said.
The United States currently owes the WHO more than 200 million dollars in assessed contributions, according to the WHO website.
