Published: 7/1/2025

Donald Trump's global aid cuts could lead to over 14 million additional deaths by 2030, with children making up a third of those vulnerable to premature death, revealed by a Lancet report. The US Agency for International Development (USAID) saw over 80% of its programs canceled under Trump's administration, a move criticized for risking two decades of health progress in low- and middle-income countries. The call for sustained humanitarian aid comes as world leaders convene in Seville for a crucial United Nations conference.
