Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) has warned the Biden administration not to hand over U.S. sovereignty to the World Health Organization (WHO) as negotiations move forward for a global pandemic accord for its member nations.
“The Biden Administration must not empower bureaucrats of the WHO—a troubled United Nations body that took disastrous missteps in the initial stages of the COVID-19 outbreak—with a new binding agreement that would tie our hands in the event of a future pandemic,” Smith said in a March 2 statement.
