The Trump administration has announced the cancellation of 83% of programs under the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), a move that has raised alarms regarding potential health crises and humanitarian emergencies worldwide. Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that the bulk of these programs will be folded into the State Department, sparking backlash among diplomats and public health experts. Critics argue that the cuts could lead to millions of deaths from diseases such as polio, TB, malaria, and AIDS, while supporters, including Elon Musk, claim it is a tough but necessary decision. Former USAID officials have voiced concerns about the implications of these cuts on global aid, especially in Eastern Europe, where misinformation could thrive in the absence of support. The changes have ignited discussions about the future of U.S. foreign aid and the humanitarian response, with many urging a reevaluation of how aid is administered and its broader impacts on global inequality.
