April 15, 2020

Palo Alto, CA – Today, Health Subcommittee Chairwoman Anna G. Eshoo (D-CA) released the following statement after President Trump announced he will suspend U.S. funding to the World Health Organization in the middle of the coronavirus crisis:

"We're in the middle of a global health pandemic that requires, above all, international cooperation to defeat. The last thing the U.S. should do is relinquish its leadership role on the world stage by going it alone, and defund the World Health Organization. The mistakes of WHO and the Trump Administration must all be examined in depth in the aftermath of this pandemic."
