Italian Deputy Prime Minister and Transport Minister Matteo Salvini has proposed a law to follow Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO).
“I presented this morning at the Chamber of Deputies, the League’s bill to leave the WHO (World Health Organization), as did the United States with Donald Trump,” Salvini, leader of the far-right League party, said on social media Thursday evening.
“Italy must no longer have to deal with a supranational power center — handsomely financed by Italian taxpayers — which goes hand in hand with the multinational pharmaceutical companies. Let’s use those 100 million to support the sick in Italy and finance our hospitals and doctors!” he added.
