The Trump administration's cuts to US foreign aid threaten over 14 million lives by 2030, with a substantial impact on small children. The US Agency for International Development (USAID) previously provided significant global humanitarian funding. Research indicates that these cuts could reverse two decades of health progress, comparable in terms of impact to a global pandemic. USAID funding has historically prevented millions of deaths in developing countries, and drastic reductions are projected to increase mortality rates significantly, particularly among young children.
Funding cuts from the Trump administration could lead to more than 14 million avoidable deaths by 2030, with over 4.5 million expected among children under five.
USAID funding has prevented 91.8 million deaths in developing countries from 2001 to 2021, more than the total estimated deaths during World War II.
