The US wants countries to agree to hand over information on bugs that could cause large-scale disease outbreaks in return for restoring aid to tackle health problems such as HIV and malaria, according to government documents.

The Trump administration is seeking new bilateral aid agreements with dozens of countries, after an abrupt withdrawal from existing arrangements at the start of this year. The agreements form part of a new America First Global Health Strategy announced in September.

The move risks undermining global efforts to bring a new pandemic agreement into force and ensure countries get fair access to vaccines, treatments and diagnostics, advocates said.

For being the "art of the deal" guy, he sure seems to have zero understanding of how abruptly withdrawing from previous agreements makes no one want to form new agreements with you. This is kindergarten level negotiating principals. Fuck this guy so much.

See, here's the thing: he cosplays being a dealmaker, but he isn't really, because it's impossible to be a good negotiator if you are a fucking idiot.

Well you see, that was the WHO. But Trump withdrew the US from the WHO, so... Now they're demanding the benefits of the WHO from countries anyway.
