WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Thursday that U.S. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo's latest comments on the relations between the UN health body and China is "untrue and unacceptable, without any foundation." He made the remarks in response to a Bloomberg report. The report quotes sources who were present at a private meeting between Pompeo and a group of UK lawmakers in London on Tuesday. Pompeo alleged that "firm intelligence" showed that a deal had been done to get Tedros the job of WHO director-general -- and that this had resulted in the deaths of UK citizens from coronavirus.
