US President Donald Trump says he has instructed his administration to halt funding to the World Health Organization (WHO).He said the WHO had "failed in its basic duty" in its response to the coronavirus outbreak.

美国总统特朗普表示，他已指示其政府暂停向世界卫生组织提供资金。他说，世卫组织在应对新冠肺炎疫情时“没有履行其基本职责”。

Mr Trump said funding would be on hold for 60 to 90 days pending a review of the WHO’s warnings about the coronavirus and China.

特朗普表示，暂停提供资金的期限将持续60到90天，在此期间将对世卫组织就新冠病毒及中国疫情发出的警示信息进行评估。

特朗普在白宫记者会上表示：

With the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, we have deep concerns whether America’s generosity has been put to the best use possible. The reality is that the WHO failed to adequately obtain, vet and share information in a timely and transparent fashion.

随着新冠肺炎疫情暴发，我们非常关心美国的慷慨是否物尽其用。现实是，世卫组织未能及时透明地充分获取、筛选及分享信息。

If we cannot trust them, if this is what we will receive from the WHO, our country will be forced to find other ways to work with other nations to achieve public health goals.
