Chinese diplomat: U.S. spits in a common well that provides all with drinking water
MOSCOW, (ST)_China’s Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui has slammed the United States’ behavior towards World Health Organization (WHO).
He told Sputnik that the withdrawal of Americans from several World organizations, including WHO, could be described as spitting in a common well that provides all with drinking water without caring about anyone.
Last month, the U.S. president Donald Trump announced Washington’s withdrawal from WHO despite the outbreak of Coronavirus crisis.
The American Medical Association, the nation’s largest physician group, urged Trump in the “strongest terms possible” to reverse the decision. Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), the head of the chamber’s health committee, warned canceling U.S. membership could disrupt clinical trials for vaccines that will be in high demand around the world.
