NEW YORK: US President Donald Trump has slammed the World Health Organization (WHO) for what it said its ‘China-centric’ views, saying that the organization’s projections and pronouncements about the COVID-19 pandemic has been routinely wrong.

Trump, in an interview with Fix News, ‘Hannity’ said the WHO had ‘strongly recommended’ against the US restricting travel from China —  one of their earliest flawed pronouncements.

Trump said: “The WHO — very China-centric as I say — basically everything was very positive for China.”

He added: “Don’t close your borders, they strongly recommended … That would’ve been a disaster, that would’ve been a total disaster.”

The W.H.O. really blew it. For some reason, funded largely by the United States, yet very China centric. We will be giving that a good look. Fortunately I rejected their advice on keeping our borders open to China early on. Why did they give us such a faulty recommendation?

President Trump added that literally, they called every shot wrong.

“They didn’t want to say where [coronavirus] came from. For many years, we’ve been funding the World Health Organization.”

He also said that the U.S. financial contribution to the global health organization dwarfs that of China, the United Nations (UN) entity seems to be really concerned about its relationship with China.

According to him, the US will look at it because every step that they made, everything that they said was wrong and always in favor of China.

“And ‘keep it open, don’t close the borders’. I didn’t listen to them, and I did what I wanted to do, and it was a good move.
