Donald Trump insists the World Health Organisation must be held accountable. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director-general of the World Health Organization, center, and other officials, including doctors, often played down the risk of the deadly coronavirus. “The WHO failed in its basic duty and must be held accountable,” Trump said at a briefing. He said the U.S. would be reviewing the WHO’s actions to stop the virus before making any decision on resuming aid. The United States contributed nearly US$900 million to the WHO’s budget for 2018-19, according to information on the agency’s website.
