“China has total control over WHO despite only paying USD40 million a year compared to what US has been paying which is approx USD 450 million a year,” Trump said. “Because they have failed to make requested and needed reforms today we will be terminating our relationship with WHO,” Trump said addressing reporters in Washington.
