By Tyler Olson
Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa., introduced a resolution in the House of Representatives <

Tuesday that calls for the United States to defund the World Health Organization (WHO) until its embattled Director-General Dr.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus resigns and the United Nations-backed
organization is investigated over its treatment of China <

Reschenthaler, along with more than 20 other House Republican
co-sponsors, backed the resolution that says "the United States should
withhold the contribution of Federal funds to the World Health
Organization until Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus resigns and an international commission to investigate the World Health Commission is established."
As reasons for why the U.S. should take such action, the resolution
cites a Jan. 14 WHO tweet that "preliminary investigations conducted by
Chinese authorities" indicated the coronavirus did not transmit between
people, Jan. 30 comments from Tedros discouraging a travel ban or
similar action from governments to fight the coronavirus, and a comment
from Tedros that he was "left in absolutely no doubt about China's
commitment to transparency," on the coronavirus.
