President Donald Trump is planning to resume some funding to the controversial World Health Organization, according to a leaked draft of a White House letter.

Trump last month cut off all U.S. funding to the group, accounting for about half the WHO's annual funding, accusing it of 'severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of the coronavirus.'

The president has kept up the criticism, saying at a town hall last week: 'The World Health organisation has been a disaster -- everything they said was wrong, and they're China-centric.'

Now, the White House is apparently on the brink of offering to resume funding the WHO at the same level as China, according to a draft letter reported by Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

Previously, the U.S. sent about $400 million a year to the WHO, which is ten times the amount China contributes.

Despite [its] shortcomings, I believe that the WHO still has tremendous potential, and want to see the WHO live up to this potential, particularly now during this global crisis' the draft letter reads, apparently in Trump's voice.

'That is why I've decided the United States will continue to partner and work with the World Health Organization' it adds. 'China owes a massive debt to the entire world, and it can start with paying its fair share to the WHO.'

'If China increases its funding to the WHO,' the letter adds, 'we will consider matching those increases.'

It comes as questions linger about the relationship between China and the WHO.

The most unstable element in the world is Donald Trump.

If China loves WHO so much, then they need to increase funding on their own part instead of giving peanuts.

Permit me to give you a parodial narrative of the move Trump just made (a clever and smart move, I must say)
Trump is sending a message to the WHO and China.
He is like, We (The United States) will no longer be the father christmas and sugar daddy that supplies the largest portion of the goodies. In fact from henceforth we will only give the exact amount China gives. If China decides to increase we will also increase, if they decrease we will do likewise. So that in d end if you (WHO) complain about the drop in funding, we (The United States) will quickly refer you to China, and you will also have to complain to China the one you love so much.

Opinion summary: Trump just played a fantastic 3D Chess game I'm sure He will be eagerly waiting and watching to see how the WHO respond to this. If they murmur he will be like oops! ask China Lol This was Trump's agenda and end game from the start. He first withdrew the entire funding only to come back with the same peanuts that China provides. This was what he wanted. Folks may think he's unstable, but look at it in its entirety, everything is well calculated.
