美國國務卿蓬佩奧新聞聲明：《台灣被排除在世界衛生大會之外》
「台灣被排除在世界衛生大會之外，美國予以強烈譴責。當世界正戮力對抗新冠疫情的同時，我們需要多邊機構履行其既定使命，並為所有會員國的利益服務，而不是在生命危在旦夕之際，仍在操弄政治。」
「…世界衛生組織秘書長譚德塞有法律授權，也可循先例，將台灣納入世界衛生大會的各項會議及活動。然而譚德塞卻屈服於中國的壓力，選擇不邀請台灣參加。祕書長譚德塞缺乏中立，剝奪了世界衛生大會向台灣聽取防疫專業科學知識的機會，更在世界最需要世衛之際進一步損害了世界衛生組織的公信力及效能。」

"...WHO’s Director-General Tedros had every legal power and precedent to include Taiwan in WHA’s proceedings. Yet, he instead chose not to invite Taiwan under pressure from the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The Director-General’s lack of independence deprives the Assembly of Taiwan’s renowned scientific expertise on pandemic disease, and further damages the WHO’s credibility and effectiveness at a time when the world needs it the most.
