Taiwan demands apology from WHO chief over virus 'slander'

Taiwan demanded an apology Thursday from the World Health Organization chief after he accused the island's government of leading personal attacks against him and his agency's response to the coronavirus pandemic. WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called Wednesday for unity to fight the disease after US President Donald Trump criticised the global health body and threatened to cut its funding. "Three months ago, this attack came from Taiwan," he told reporters in Geneva, referring to online criticism and insults.
