Likarok Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 So I guess I still have to learn not to believe what Trump says is correct! hahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likarok Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 This is what I was going by Ryan. Not really sure what is correct but it is a hell of a lot of Money. This is from CBC Canada. The United States contributed nearly $900 million US to the WHO's budget for 2018-19, according to information on the agency's website. That represents one-fifth of its total $4.4 billion budget for those years. The U.S. gave nearly three-fourths of the funds in "specified voluntary contributions" and the rest in "assessed" funding as part of Washington's commitment to UN institutions. A more detailed WHO budget document provided by the U.S. mission in Geneva showed that in 2019, the U.S. provided $452 million, including nearly $119 million in assessed funding. In its most recent budget proposal from February, the Trump administration called for slashing the U.S. assessed funding contribution to the WHO to $57.9 million. Last week, the head of the WHO gave a strident defence of his agency's handling of the pandemic after Trump threatened to halt WHO funding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likarok Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Yes Ryan, as I suspected, Canadians will have to pay income tax on any Govt assistance they get in Canada! Will have to declare it on 2020 income tax. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
