2 perspectives on the Trump administration's clash with WHO

Season 2020 Episode 125 | 11m 49s

The World Health Organization held a rare emergency meeting Thursday to discuss the ongoing global health crisis -- and an escalating diplomatic battle with the U.S., its largest funder. President Trump has frozen contributions to WHO, blaming it for echoing China in its early response to COVID-19. Nick Schifrin talks to Duke University’s Dr. Michael Merson and Stanford University’s Lanhee Chen.
