Bill Gates faults Trump’s halting of US funding to WHO

Billionaire businessman and philanthropist Bill Gates has described the decision to halt funding to the Word Health Organisation (WHO) during the coronavirus global crisis as dangerous as it sounds.

The co-chairman of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation said this in a tweet on Wednesday.

“Their work is slowing the spread of COVID-19 and if that work is stopped no other organization can replace them. The world needs @WHO now more than ever,” he tweeted.
