“With precautions such as social distancing, mask-wearing, and testing, our communities will begin a gradual and safe transition to reopening.

The Trump Administration is “closely monitoring airline practices regarding refunds . . .

“It is outrageous to expect taxpayers to continue supporting an international body which acts as a lapdog for Beijing. If the WHO wants to change course and return to its original remit of serious global health protection, it can do so. If not, as Trump indicated in his letter to the body, the WHO should lose all U.S. funding,” the Washington Examiner editorial board writes.
