Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Anthony Fauci said he would prefer not to get involved with President Donald Trump’s criticisms of the World Health Organization.

Host Ed Henry asked, “Dr. Fauci, as you know, the president is very upset with the World Health Organization, and things have been too soft on China, some of their predictions were too far off. He wants to freeze U.S. funding to the World Health Organization. do you agree?”

Fauci said, “To be honest with you, I can’t get involved in that kind of discussion. I just need to focus on what my job is to see what we can do in this country and globally to put an end to this.”

He added, “The interaction between the WHO is something I really prefer not to get involved with.”
