Trump Says US Will Resume Funding WHO — At Same Level As China
[DAILYCALLER] The Trump administration will shortly resume funding to the World Health Organization (WHO), but it will be at the same level as China, according to a Fox News report released Friday on "Tucker Carlson Tonight."

"This is a Fox News alert," said Carlson, "The Trump administration is on the brink of resuming U.S. funding of the World Health Organization. Last month, the administration cut off U.S. funding at the president’s direction. That amounts to about $400 million a year."

Carlson read from a draft letter reportedly written by President Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
and obtained by Fox News.

"Despite all of these shortcomings, I believe the World Health Organization still has tremendous potential, and want to see the WHO live up to this potential, particularly now during this global crisis. That is why I have decided the United States will continue to partner and work with the WHO and agree to pay up to what China pays in assessed contributions."

#2 It ain't what China contributes to the WHO that matters, it's what they contribute to WHO officials.

#4 ...cause we don't want to get into a bidding match for who we can buy or ones that stay bought? We played that game in the 50s through the fall of the wall - Our (western aligned) dictators were better than their (eastern aligned) dictators.
