World Health Assembly Convenes Online Monday

The WHO Assembly, typically held in Geneva, is online this year due to COVID-19. The main agenda is a resolution supported by over 100 countries for an independent evaluation of the outbreak, without naming China. Australia, the first to call for an inquiry, faces threats from Beijing. The EU proposes a resolution for global collaboration on COVID-19 solutions. The US's participation is uncertain as President Trump halted WHO funding in April, with reports suggesting he may extend this halt.
