Trump compares WHO, WTO to fictional characters

US President Donald Trump has attacked the World Trade Organisation (WTO) as well as the World Health Organization (WHO) calling the international agencies the "Bobbsey Twins," the BBC reports.

The children's book series, written by Laura Lee Hope, tells the story of "two sets of twins as they go on wild adventures and solve intriguing mysteries," according to publisher Penguin Random House.

There are four people that make up the Bobbsey Twins.

Asked about cutting WHO funding, as he said last week he was considering, he says: "I would say by the end of the week I'm going to make a decision on that."

The characters made their first appearance in The Bobbsey Twins; or, Merry Days Indoors and Out (1904). Many of the early books from the original series (which eventually ran to more than 85) were revised in the 1950s and ’60s, and many were reprinted, the Brittanica says. A second series—the New Bobbsey Twins—was published from 1987 to 1992.-BBC/The Standard
