Republicans Introduce Bill to Withhold Money From China-Dominated WHO Until Its Current Head Resigns;
Trump Announces a Hold on US Funds For WHO
"China-centric."
From Fox:
Reschenthaler, along with more than 20 other House Republican co-sponsors, backed the resolution that says "the United States should withhold the contribution of Federal funds to the World Health Organization until Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus resigns and an international commission to investigate the World Health Commission is established."

The United States is the single largest contributor to the WHO. The most recent invoice from the WHO to the United States, which is one of many countries that fund the organization, was for nearly $116 million per year. The United States also voluntarily gives between approximately $100 million and $400 million more per year to the WHO for specific projects – contributions that totaled over $400 million in 2017, the most recent year for which figures are available.
