VAN DREW INFURIATED WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN ATTEMPTING TO HAND OVER POWER TO THE WHO

May 23, 2022 — Congressman Van Drew issued the following statement following reports of President Biden attempting to hand power over to the World Health Organization (WHO). 

“When President Trump was in office, he rightfully sought to withdraw the United States from the WHO, and now our current President has secretly sent the WHO multiple amendments that would hand over the organization an extensive amount of power,” said Congressman Van Drew. “Whether direct or indirect, there is absolutely zero reason that we should be giving any additional authority to an organization that succumbs to the pressures of China. The world is still reeling from COVID-19 and the WHO’s mismanagement from the beginning of the pandemic. It demanded no accountability from China and would implement and reverse COVID-19 guidelines which resulted in mass confusion. Despite this, President Biden submitted amendments that would give up U.S. sovereignty and allow the WHO to have additional authority over future pandemic responses.

“I am adamantly opposed to any attempt to hand undue power to the WHO and strongly condemn President Biden’s backdoor handling of submitting these amendments without any public statement.”
