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.

    No, that’s literally not what they implied. You’re unironically doing the “so you hate waffles?” thing.

      They literally implied that by including “outside the US”, otherwise the inclusion of those words are entirely meaningless?

        The inclusion of those words is in the context of the post, which only talks about aid to people outside the US. Why would they talk about people inside the US or even imply they care about those people?

        If I say I like the outside, that doesn’t imply I hate staying inside. You logic is akin to insisting I hate staying inside because I wouldn’t have included the word outside if I wasn’t trying to imply that.
