Last month, in retaliation to the World Health Organizationâs (WHO) lying and covering for Chinaâs exporting the Wuhan virus across the world, President Trump defunded the organization, pending an investigation into its complicity regarding the pandemic.
However, a few days ago, it was reported on Fox Newsâ Tucker Carlson Tonight that a leaked document from within the administration showed that it was âon the brink of resuming U.S. funding of the World Health Organization.â The letter said that even though the WHO has âshortcomings,â Trump thought the organization has potential and could still maintain some influence over it by keeping a small amount of fundingâroughly 10% of the $400 million it annually spends. It also said that Trump wants to âwork with the WHO and agree to pay up to what China pays in assessed contributions.”
Tucker strongly opposed the idea and rightfully condemned the WHO. Fox Business host Lou Dobbs then tweeted the Carlson story and blamed Trumpâs advisors for this decision.
Top WH Advisors are working for whom exactly? Surely not for our historic President or this great nation: Trump set to restore partial funding to WHO after pause to investigate coronavirus response #MAGA âŚ@realDonaldTrump⊠#AmericaFirst #Dobbshttps://t.co/3teoJMRWCD

Trump later responded to Dobbs on Twitter and showed that he may be changing his mind:
Good. There is no reason U.S. taxpayers should be funding a group complicit in severely damaging the worldâs economy and prosperity.
