DISPUTE OVER US-OWED FEES Under U.S. law, it was supposed to give one-year notice and pay all outstanding fees - around $260 million - before departing. But a U.S. State Department official disputed that the statute contains a condition that any payment needs to be made before withdrawal. “The American people have paid more than enough,” a State Department spokesperson said in an email earlier on Thursday.
I mean… true, they just got the payee wrong. The American people have paid more than enough, but not to the WHO, no, they have paid too much to oligarchs and this corrupt ass government.
