Note: It's "White House Correspondents' Association"

Incorrectly stated "White House Press Association" in first tweet.
For a great rundown on Phoenix TV, the organization given a seat at the WH briefing by the WHCA, see this excellent thread by @tedcruz

"‘Phoenix is nominally privately-owned; however its current main investor is the State-owned enterprise China Mobile."

President Trump: The WHO "criticized and disagreed with my travel ban. And they were wrong. They've been wrong about a lot of things...They seem to be very China-centric."
President Trump on WHO (Cont): We have to look into that...They missed the call...They should have known. And they probably did know. We'll be looking into that very carefully...We're going to put a hold on money spent to the WHO."
Trump on WHO (Q&A): They seem to be very China-centric. And they seem to err always on the side of China. And we fund it. So I want to look into that...We're gonna look at it. We will look at ending funding...Everything seems to be very biased towards China. That's not right.
