Outcry over Trump’s WHO funding cut order
US President Donald Trump addresses the daily coronavirus task force briefing at the White House, April 14, 2020.
President Donald Trump says he’s halting funding for the World Health Organization pending a review. How would the funding cut affect the WHO’s work? And, there’s a global backlash against Trump’s WHO announcement, especially in places where the organization is vital like in Democratic Republic of Congo, where they are not only dealing with COVID-19 but also Ebola. Also, a priest in Vancouver, Canada, has a social distancing solution for confessionals for his congregation: a drive-through option.
