world, he asserted, depends on WHO to work with countries to ensure that accurate information about international health threats is shared in a timely manner. WHO failed in this basic duty and must be held accountable, he said. president alleged that WHO failed to investigate credible reports from sources in Wuhan that conflicted directly with Chinese government's official accounts. re was credible information to suspect human-to-human transmission in December 2019, which should have spurred WHO to investigate and investigate immediately, he observed.

Through middle of January it parroted and publicly endorsed idea that re was t human-to-human transmission happening despite reports and clear evidence to contrary, he said. According to Trump, delays WHO experienced in declaring a public health emergency cost valuable time. "More time was lost in delay it took to get a team of international experts and to examine outbreak...," he ded.

RE: Trump Argues He Has 'total' Authority Over Shutdown

inability of WHO to obtain virus samples to this date has deprived scientific community of essential data. New data that emerges across world on a daily basis points to unreliability of initial reports and world received all sorts of false information about transmission and mortality, he said.

Trump alleged that silence of WHO on disappearance of scientific researchers and doctors and new restrictions on sharing of research into origins of COVID-19 in country of origin is deeply concerning, especially when US gives by far largest amount of money to global health body.

"H WHO done its job to get medical experts into China to objectively assess situation on ground and to call out China's lack of transparency, outbreak could have been contained...with very little death..., he said.

Inste WHO willingly took China's assurances at face value...and defended actions of Chinese government, even praising China for its so-called transparency.... WHO pushed China's misinformation about virus, saying it was t communicable, and re was need for travel bans.... WHO's reliance on China's disclosures likely caused a 20-fold increase in cases worldwide, and it may be much more than that, Trump said.

president alleged that WHO has t dressed a single one of se concerns r provided a serious explanation that ackwledges its own mistakes, of which re were many. Trump said for WHO, it would have been so easy to be truthful, and so much death has been caused by ir mistakes. We will continue to eng with WHO to see if it can make meaningful reforms. For time being, we will redirect global health and directly work with ors, he said.

According to Trump, h or nations like US suspended travel from China, countless more lives would have been saved. Inste look at rest of world, look at parts of Europe or nations and regions who followed WHO guidelines, and kept ir borders open to China accelerated pandemic all around world, he said.

WHO's attack on travel restrictions put political correctness above life-saving measures, he alleged. Since its establishment in 1948, American people have generously supported World Health Organization to provide better health outcomes for world and, most importantly, to help prevent global health crises, he said.

"With outbreak of COVID-19, we have deep concerns wher America's generosity has been put to best use possible. reality is that WHO failed to equately obtain, vet and share information in a timely and transparent fashion," Trump ded.
