Trump's anti-#WHO policy and deaths in #Yemen

U.S. to give aid BUT may try deliver without WHO

Anonymous US official: "we are caught on this rock of the WHO at the moment WHICH DOES A LOT OF GOOD WORK IN YEMEN by the way"
2. Quote from the senior US official comes from this Reuters report (by @humeyra_pamuk @michellenichols).

3. @UNReliefChief's warning to UN Security Council of COVID-19 outbreak in Yemen plus cholera is in this briefing:

"Epidemiologists warn that COVID-19 in Yemen could spread faster, more widely and with deadlier consequences than in many other countries."

We just filed #FOIA requests with @DeptofDefense for troop numbers in #Afghanistan #Iraq #Syria.

Administrations gave Americans this info for DECADES.

SecDef #Mattis committed to even more transparency.

Then poof: late 2017, DoD went dark.

2. Read what former Defense Secretary (and former Republican Senator) Chuck Hagel said about our FOIA request for US troop numbers:
3. “Secretary Mattis is committed to developing a more transparent accounting of our troops in the field than he inherited.”

<Thread> Important critique by top expert @D_P_Fidler.

Fine-grained analysis includes explanation of United States' LEGAL OBLIGATIONS to report to #WHO what it knew about #coronavirus (when the US knew China was covering up "cataclysmic" disease).

justsecurity.org/69694/an-abuse…
2. My own added thought:

Trump criticized #WorldHealthOrganization for its recommendations on travel bans.

But note several experts took the view that the WHO position was required by the 2005 international rules—which the US helped draft and support.

3. There are valid criticisms of the #WorldHealthOrganization's handling of China and the coronavirus pandemic.

Fidler's final point is such a smart one.

Trump's approach is squandering the opportunity to have a genuine, independent retrospective review of the WHO's actions.
