President Donald Trump’s “America first” strategy means decimation globally—and notably in Africa. 

After taking workplace, the president rapidly hollowed out the U.S. Company for Worldwide Improvement, which is the primary international support group within the authorities. In July, USAID formally shut its doorways.

And to the west, tons of of Nigerian youngsters are dying of malnutrition because the U.S. and different international locations pull again their assets. 

Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have begun to point out People the place they plan to focus international support as a substitute. 

Late final month, Rubio introduced $60 million in international support heading to the Philippines. A authorities press launch stated the funds would help “energy, maritime, and economic growth programs” with a rustic the U.S. has sturdy financial ties to.

Each day Kos reached out to the State Division for remark however didn’t instantly hear again.

To the Trump administration, “America first” appears to imply that international locations are deserving of support provided that they will present one thing in return. However because the U.S. and different international locations pull again increasingly more assist from these in want, the lives misplaced—greater than the cash saved—are already tallying up.
