Biden Urged To ‘Fight Like Hell’ For Global Covid Funds
On Monday, the White House announced it will convene a second global COVID-19 summit next month.
A leading public health advocate urged U.S. President Joe Biden to “fight like hell” for congressional funding to combat the ongoing pandemic.
The U.S., Belize, Germany, Indonesia and Senegal collectively are hosting the summit.
They said the May 12 virtual conference “will redouble our collective efforts to end the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic and prepare for future health threats.”
Last month, the U.S. House of Representatives slashed $5 billion in proposed global pandemic response funding from an omnibus spending bill.
The money was to help the administration carry out its National COVID-19 Preparedness Plan.
