President Donald Trump said Friday that the U.S. would terminate its relationship with the World Health Organization, stating it had failed to adequately respond to the Covid-19 pandemic because China has “total control” over the global organization.

The US is currently the biggest funder of the organisation, contributing with $450 million in membership dues and other voluntary payments for specific programmes.
