Minutes after President Donald Trump said he's placing a "very powerful hold" on US funding to the World Health Organization for what he says is a "China-centric" stance, he appeared to back off the statement.
"I'm not saying I'm going to do it, but we are going to look at it," Trump said after being pressed on his statement.
Speaking Tuesday at his daily coronavirus briefing, Trump said the organization "receives vast amounts of money from the United States" that he wants to re-examine.
Trump said certain WHO programs were worthwhile but that overall they'd made mistakes -- in particular, he said, opposition to his decision to shut down travel from China.
"We have to look into that, so we're going to look into it," Trump said.
