Summary
The Trump administration has canceled 90% of USAIDās foreign aid contracts, including critical programs that provide lifesaving therapeutic food to malnourished children.
Mana Nutritionās CEO reports that ready-to-ship boxes of peanut paste that could save approximately 300,000 children are now stranded in a Georgia warehouse.
Despite Secretary of State Rubioās claims that ālifesaving humanitarian assistanceā would be spared, numerous essential health programs have been terminated, including those preventing diseases like polio, HIV, and Ebola.
These cuts contradict claims about targeting āwokenessā or āwaste,ā instead showing a reckless abandonment of Americaās global humanitarian commitments.
Refusing to pay people and honor contracts has been Trumpās MO for decades.
In a lot of these cases, the money has already been paid for these contracts*. āCuttingā them isnāt even saving any money, because the money has already been spent.
