The Trump administration has said that it will not pay more than $ 60 million in arrears to the World Health Organization and the rest of the money to other items in the United Nations.
A day before the announcement was made on Wednesday, White Haas said it would not participate in the WHO’s project to develop and distribute the Kovid-19 vaccine.
Indeed, US President Donald Trump has been angry with the WHO over how to deal with the Corona virus epidemic and has accused the organization of being under the undue influence of China. That is why they decided to withhold about $ 6.2 million out of the dues to WHO in 2020.
Despite the process of separation from the organization, administration officials said the US would continue to attend select meetings of the WHO and would also make a one-time contribution to special events during the one-year period of the separation process. These programs include eradication of polia in Afghanistan and Pakistan, humanitarian aid in Libya and Syria and efforts to combat influenza.
In July, Trump announced that the US would secede from the WHO by July 2021, as well as directing the administration to begin handling agency funding and cooperation. By that announcement, the US had paid $ 5.2 million out of an estimated $ 120 million for 2020.
