WHO pushes to keep ties with 'generous' U.S. despite Trump's exit move

The WHO praised the United States for its ‘immense’ and ‘generous’ contribution to global health in a push to salvage relations, after President Trump moved to sever ties with the U.N. agency

LONDON - The head of the World Health Organization on Monday praised the United States’ “immense” and “generous” contribution to global health in a push to salvage relations after President Donald Trump said he was severing ties with the U.N. agency.

“The United States’ contribution and generosity towards global health over many decades has been immense, and it has made a great difference in public health all around the world,” he said. Unrest erupted in the United States after last week’s death of a black man, George Floyd, in police custody, bringing thousands onto the streets and adding to a sense of crisis as the nation already faces the world’s worst coronavirus outbreak.
