President Trump announced during a press briefing on Tuesday night that he will halt financial contributions to the World Health Organization while his administration conducts an investigation into the organization’s handling of the novel coronavirus.

Trump has already faced blowback for cutting off the WHO’s funding, but he is absolutely correct here. There is ample reason to believe that the WHO’s mishandling of COVID-19 left the world unnecessarily and unreasonably unprepared for this pandemic and that the organization’s continued parroting of Chinese propaganda is motivated by more than mere stupidity.
