After Trump suspends payments to WHO, other countries rally behind the agency

BERLIN —President Trump’s decision to temporarily suspend payments to the World Health Organization (WHO) in response to its handling of the coronavirus pandemic triggered international statements of support for the United Nations agency on Wednesday.

While Trump’s criticism of the WHO is being shared by others, who argue that the agency is unwilling to hold Beijing sufficiently accountable for its mistakes, close U.S. allies said Wednesday they vehemently disagreed with a suspension of payments and were not planning to follow suit.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison echoed concerns voiced by Trump and others by saying the WHO is “not immune from criticism,” but he added that the organization “does a lot of important work.”

In Japan, where Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso suggested last month that the WHO might have to change its name to the “Chinese Health Organization” amid criticism of the agency, the country’s chief cabinet secretary, Yoshihide Suga, said Wednesday that Japan would continue to cooperate with and fund the WHO.

1. Another chunk of America's global leadership shed like a calving glacier

Great job, Trumplethinskin.

2. Another blow to the Empire.

Trump wants his own Trumpistan here, riddled with evangelical theocratic bosses and oligarchical ministers of the "common good" and other newspeak.

Smash it to pieces and own the spoils?

3. Any international organization or treaty can expect to be denigrated by Trump.
