Trump announces end of ties with WHO over virus pandemic, to end special treatment for Hong Kong

United States President Donald Trump on Friday announced he was “terminating” the country’s ties with the World Health Organization (WHO) for its failure to carry out reforms and said the annual contribution of $450 million will be diverted to other bodies around the world.

The President also said that United States will end special status for Hong Kong and treat it on par with Mainland China and prevent certain students from China from enrolling in US universities and colleges.
