WHO Chief Slams US Withdrawal Reasons as “Untrue,” Warns of Global Safety Risks
According to the head of the World Health Organization (WHO), the US’ reasons for withdrawing from the agency are false, and the decision will make both the US and the world less safe. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated the US has significantly contributed to the organization’s achievements and the WHO has always respected the sovereignty of its member states. The WHO also refuted US claims of failure and obstruction in its coronavirus response, re-emphasizing its impartiality and commitment to serving all countries.
