Summary
The Trump administration has canceled 90% of USAID’s foreign aid contracts, including critical programs that provide lifesaving therapeutic food to malnourished children.
Mana Nutrition’s 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 Rubio’s claims that “lifesaving humanitarian assistance” 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 “wokeness” or “waste,” instead showing a reckless abandonment of America’s global humanitarian commitments.
So what I’m hearing is that peanuts and vitamins are gonna be cheaper?
And all it costs is several thousand lives in countries most Americans couldn’t pick out on a map, and a bunch of anxiety for peanut farmers.
What a great deal. Nobody could have made a better, more Christ-like deal.
Also, they won’t be cheaper.
They will, but not for you.
