President Trump today said the US government is “terminating our relationship” with the World Health Organization, alleging that the global health group has not implemented needed reforms and that it is controlled entirely by China.<\/p>\n

“China has total control over the World Health Organization despite only paying $40 million per year, compared to what the United States has been paying, which is approximately $450 million a year,” Trump said during a brief press conference at the White House Rose Garden (see video<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Trump halted funding<\/a> to WHO in mid-April. On May 18, he sent a letter to WHO<\/a>, saying that the US will permanently stop funding the group if it “does not commit to major substantive improvements within the next 30 days.” It’s only been 11 days since then, but Trump said today he is moving ahead with his threat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
