“He could go on to be a great philanthropist. In the meantime, the world’s richest man has been involved in the deaths of the world’s poorest children,” Gates said.
Gates has previously touted his working relationship with Trump. After a three-hour dinner with Trump after his reelection, he told The New Yorker: “We are not going into opposition. We are continuing the partnership we’ve had with every administration.”
Since then, however, Trump has enacted huge cuts to global health spending and pulled the U.S. out of the World Health Organization, leaving the United Nations agency facing a severe financial crisis.
Gates has reportedly come under pressure from inside his own foundation to do more to oppose Trump and fill the funding gap.
