Washington : US President Donald Trump has defended US efforts to reportedly undermine a World Health Organisation measure in support of breastfeeding. A New York Times report claimed US officials fought against language that all governments should “protect, promote and support breastfeeding”. The report alleges that the US threatened countries over the resolution, which eventually passed. A government spokesperson called the reports “patently false” on Monday, BBC reported. On Twitter, Trump “called out” the Times and said the “US strongly supports breastfeeding”.
According to the Times report on Sunday based on interviews with dozens of meeting participants, US negotiations in Geneva objected to the resolution encouraging breastfeeding around the world and allegedly resorted to intimidation tactics to bully other countries into dropping it.
American officials allegedly sought to remove the language pushing for global government support of breastfeeding practices and attacked countries that were in favour of it.
