iwonder, therefore, how you respond to the news overnight that us president donald trump has suspended america's funding of the world health organizationuspended america's funding of the world health organization? i think it is difficult by think we can ove i’co m e it is difficult by think we can overcome this and i think we must not be discouraged. i was dealing with a financial crisis in 2008 and 2009, it was very difficult to persuade people to come on board in the beginning. we didn't have a degree of international cooperation that we wanted in the first few weeks but people to come around to it copy what encourages me, as i have seen opinion polls of american, public opinion, they want international cooperation to deal with this, i have central from the governors in the states that they wa nt governors in the states that they want international cooperation and i think there is something of a misunderstanding here copy when we talk about the world health organization, we are talking about a network of networks. we are talking about one group that is searching with a global funding for the vaccine and for the cure, another group th

worse, that this is what some people would call the sabotage of the world health organization is actually an act of self—harm on the part of americaeal with this locally, in any country, we have got to act globally. the three things we need for an exit from this virus — one, the search for a vaccine and cure. two, the build—up of capacity for testing and for ventilators and so on. and three, preventing a second round of this disease, which could come out of africa or a developing country, which would have no protection from health systems, very little safety nets, you can't practice the same social distancing in these countries, and then if it comes back in a second wave to hit america, then we all suffer, so i think the exit strategy depends on increased cooperation and i do think american public opinion will understand that self—interest lies in solidarity... in yourview, then, given everything you've just said, do you believe it is incumbent upon the british prime minister, other allies of the united states and, indeed, the world community as a whole, to put urgent pressure on donald trump to change his mind? yes, and i think t

the world health organization but every international organization. that we take taxpayer money and give it to them for the benefit of america. we need to make sure it is delivering on the taxpayer dollars. the world health organization is no different in that respect. they have to execute on the mission they are designed to achieve. we are saying here we are. it has not accomplished what it was intended to deliver. >> mr. secretary, you said staffers have tested positive. will they get the hydroxychloroquine treatment? i don't know the answer to that. we will deliver the best medical care. >> can you give us an update on the numbers on the coronavirus cases we are seeing in iran? if there are any updates on helping them. sec. pompeo: with respect to our citizens in iran, the first day we knew that the virus struck, the people of iran, we offer humanitarian assistance. they chose not to take that. the road should know there are no sanctions that prevent humanitarian assistance, pharmaceuticals from going to iran. we offered american assistance. i don't have any better data. >> are you allowing exports of medical supplies at th
