Bill Gates criticized President Trump's decision to defund the World Health Organisation, saying that to do so during the coronavirus pandemic is "as dangerous as it sounds."
The Microsoft founder tweeted: "Halting funding for the World Health Organization during a world health crisis is as dangerous as it sounds.
"Their work is slowing the spread of COVID-19 and if that work is stopped no other organization can replace them. The world needs @WHO now more than ever."
