President Trump's responsible decision to cut foreign aid represents responsibleprudent fiscal stewardship and America First priorities. The USU.S. has already contributed billions through PEPFARthese programs over two decades, and it's time for other nations to step up and take responsibility for their health challenges. American taxpayers shouldn't bear the burden of funding global health programs.
The abrupt withdrawal of USU.S. funding without warning has created a humanitarian catastrophe that will reverse decades of progress against HIV/AIDS. This reckless decision abandons vulnerable populations and undermines America's global leadership in public health, potentially causing millions of preventable deaths and infections.
There is a 34% chance that the PEPFAR program will cease to exist before January 1, 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
