Republican Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) has reintroduced legislation to the GOP-led House to defund the World Health Organization (WHO).

Roy unveiled the bill on Thursday amid mounting concerns about the Chinese Communist Party’s influence over the United Nations agency.

The bill is titled ‘‘No Taxpayer Funding for the World Health Organization Act.”

It cracks down on contributions to the WHO after they have risen to hundreds of millions of dollars annually.

The United States has now become one of the China-friendly WHO’s largest donors.
