Melinda Gates: Trump defunding WHO makes 'zero sense'

Philanthropist Melinda Gates has told 鶹 Radio 5 Live it makes “zero sense” for President Trump to defund the World Health Organisation during the coronavirus crisis.

Speaking to Emma Barnett, Melinda Gates, of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, said the WHO is “exactly the organisation to deal with a pandemic”.

The foundation is the the second-largest funder of the WHO.

Today they have pledged a further $150m (£120m) to fight Covid-19.
