Russian Foreign Ministry Slams US Threat to Cut WHO Funding as 'Not Constructive'
17:15 GMT 09.04.2020 (Updated: 12:57 GMT 06.08.2022) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The United States has picked a wrong time to stop funding the World Health Organization as the world battles against the coronavirus pandemic, a spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry said Thursday.
"We think the country [US]'s position is not constructive and its statements are untimely and counterproductive in light of the ever-growing pandemic," Maria Zakharova told reporters at a briefing.
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to cut off funding for the UN health agency after accusing it of being "China-centric."
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said later that the administration would make sure that WHO was delivering on taxpayer dollars.
