U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson pledged full support Saturday for the embattled World Health Organization and promised additional funding -- undercutting the U.S. decision to withdraw from the body earlier this year. China pays about $50 million -- although Beijing recently announced a $2 billion injection of funds for global health.. “The Chinese government, and the World Health Organization -- which is virtually controlled by China -- falsely declared that there was no evidence of human-to-human transmission,” he said. U.K. officials have more recently tried to smooth over those disagreements. At a recent press conference with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab emphasized areas of agreement between the U.S. and the U.K. on Iran.
