President Trump, in an interview on "Hannity" on Tuesday, slammed the World Health Organization (WHO) for its "China-centric" views, adding the global health agency's projections and pronouncements about the coronavirus pandemic have been routinely wrong.
One of WHO's earliest flawed pronouncements, the president told host Sean Hannity, was to strongly recommend against the U.S. restricting travel from China.
"The World Health [Organization] -- very China-centric, as I say -- basically everything was very positive for China," Trump said. "Don't close your borders, they strongly recommended. ... That would've been a disaster, that would've been a total disaster."
"And literally, they called every shot wrong," the president added. "They didn't want to say where [coronavirus] came from. For many years, we've been funding the World Health Organization."
Earlier Tuesday at a news briefing, Trump said he may put a "very powerful hold” on U.S. funding to the WHO. Click here for more on our top story.
