“In the United States, they have long been looking for those responsible for the spread of coronavirus, they started from China, and now they spread to WHO. The main task of such a policy is not to save budget money paid to an international organization, but to inspire American citizens to think that anyone but the authorities of the country are to blame for the epidemiological situation in the USA. This maneuver, in particular, is aimed at easing the burden of responsibility of the head of the White House and his team for the development of the situation with coronavirus in the country ahead of the election. ” So commented on the US decision to stop financing WHO member of the Duma committee on international affairs Sergey Zheleznyak.
The politician emphasized: “It is obvious that the US refusal to help in the work of the World Health Organization will not help solve the problem, but will only aggravate it. “The US is once again demonstrating selfishness and an attempt to relieve itself of collective responsibility for a common problem.”
The deputy also noted: “The coronavirus epidemic has demonstrated that all countries will have to reform relations both within interstate unions and associations, as well as with many international organizations. Moreover, it is obvious that only joint work, dialogue, and cooperation can lead the world out of crisis situations.”
According to the politician: “The rapid spread of the disease and the high mortality rate from coronavirus, as well as the collapse of the US health care system are extremely negative for Mr Trump’s election campaign. Opponents will actively use every miscalculation of the head of the White House in order to earn political points on this and take away the votes of the American electorate from the current president in the upcoming elections.”
