Trump global aid cuts risk 14 million deaths in five years, report says
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.
