美国总统特朗普14日宣布，美国暂停向世界卫生组织缴纳会费。理由是世卫组织在处理新冠疫情上不力，导致疫情在全球大暴发。EEE大手笔网—中国第一文化门户网站
特朗普当天傍晚在白宫记者会上宣布这一决定。他说，美国每年向世卫组织缴纳超过4亿美元会费，作为世卫组织的主要赞助方，美国有责任对世卫组织在疫情中的行为问责。
针对美方指责世卫组织并声称将暂停向世卫组织缴纳会费一事，世卫组织总干事谭德塞4月8日呼吁勿将新冠病毒当作政治筹码，应在国家内部、各国之间加强团结，共同抗击疫情。
➤朝错误方向又迈进一步
据《国会山报》报道，特朗普称，美国政府将暂停向世卫组织拨款。他表示，美国政府正在推动一项针对世卫组织的调查，评估“世卫组织在严重的处理失当以及掩盖新冠病毒传播方面所扮演的角色”。
Trump said at a White House briefing that the United States would suspend funding to the organization while officials conduct a review"to assess the World Health Organization's role in severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of the coronavirus."
报道称，特朗普的声明立即引发卫生界的强烈反对。美国医学会迅速发表声明，称此举是“朝错误方向迈出的危险一步”，并敦促特朗普重新考虑。
Tuesday's announcement immediately triggered backlash from the health community.The American Medical Association(AMA)swiftly issued a statement calling the move a“dangerous step in the wrong direction”and urging Trump to reconsider.
美国医学会还表示，抗击全球疫情的斗争需要国际合作，并且依赖于科学和数据。在世界危急的时刻，削减对世卫组织的资金而不是专注于解决方案，是一项危险的举动。
"Fighting a global pandemic requires international cooperation and reliance on science and data.Cutting funding to the WHO–rather than focusing on solutions–is a dangerous move at a precarious moment for the world,"the AMA said.
➤试图转嫁责任
美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）评论称，特朗普宣布这一消息时，世界正处于数十年来最严重的传染病大流行之中，此举是他对美国媒体指责其抗击疫情不力的愤怒回应。
Trump's announcement comes in the middle of the worst global pandemic in decades and as he angrily defends his own handling of the outbreak in the United States.
美国社会纷纷质疑，此举是特朗普对疫情危机轻描淡写，还是他忽略了政府成员对疫情严重性的警告。在这些质疑声中，特朗普试图将责任转嫁到其他地方，包括世卫组织和新闻媒体。
Amid swirling questions about whether he downplayed the crisis or ignored warnings from members of his administration about its potential severity,Trump has sought to assign blame elsewhere,including at the WHO and in the news media.
文章援引美国参议院外交关系委员会委员、来自康涅狄格州的民主党参议员墨菲的话称，特朗普正在试图转移自身的责任。
“现在白宫及其盟友正在努力寻找替罪羊，为总统在疫情早期阶段犯下的致命错误开脱。”
"Right now,there is a very coordinated effort amongst the White House and their allies to try to find scapegoats for the fatal mistakes that the President made during the early stages of this virus,"he said.
美国政治新闻网站Politico在报道中称，在特朗普宣布停缴世卫组织会费前，他对该组织不断升级的攻击行动已经持续数周，这是他在试图转移对本届政府在疫情期间反应迟缓的批评。
The move follows weeks of Trump's escalating attacks on the U.N.health organization as he has sought to deflect scrutiny of his own administration's slow response to the outbreak.
世卫组织已于1月下旬宣布新冠病毒为全球卫生紧急状况，但当时，特朗普仍然对这种疾病轻描淡写，并且与季节性流感做出误导性的比较。
WHO declared the coronavirus a global health emergency in late January,at a time when Trump was still downplaying the disease and drawing misleading comparisons to the seasonal flu.
➤本届政府曾呼吁对WHO提供支持
特朗普停缴世卫组织会费的行为，违反了本届政府在2017年起草的“全球性流行病防备计划”。该计划主张“扩大全球性流行病防备和反应的国际协调”，并特别呼吁为世卫组织提供“持续支持”。
Trump's move to defund WHO goes against the pandemic preparedness plan his administration drafted in 2017,which advocates for"expanded international coordination on pandemic preparedness and response"and specifically calls for"continued support"for WHO.
CNN评论称，停缴世卫组织会费的行为显现出特朗普一贯遵循的对国际组织的怀疑模式，这早在疫情发生前就已经开始了。特朗普质疑美国对联合国的资助，退出全球气候协议，痛斥世界贸易组织，他声称这些机制都是在剥削美国。
His decision to withdraw funding from the WHO follows a pattern of skepticism of world organizations that began well before the coronavirus pandemic.Trump has questioned US funding to the United Nations,withdrawn from global climate agreements and lambasted the World Trade Organization--claiming all were ripping off the United States.
美国约翰斯·霍普金斯大学的实时数据显示，截至美东时间14日18:31，美国新冠肺炎确诊病例已超过60万，达602989例，死亡病例达25575例。其中，纽约州新冠肺炎确诊病例超20万例。
