Don’t politicize virus, WHO chief says after Trump blast
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on Google“Please don’t politicize this virus,” pleads World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesu, following stinging criticism of the WHO from US President Donald Trump.
“Quarantine, politicizing COVID… we shouldn’t waste time pointing fingers,” he tells a virtual briefing in Geneva, adding: “It’s like playing with fire… We need to behave.”
Yesterday, Trump tweeted, “The W.H.O. really blew it. For some reason, funded largely by the United States, yet very China centric. We will be giving that a good look. Fortunately I rejected their advice on keeping our borders open to China early on. Why did they give us such a faulty recommendation?”
