Before President Trump, the U.S. helped clear millions of U.S. cluster munitions in Laos that have maimed and killed innocent people for decades. But the funding is being cut because the White House’s extremist ideology is replacing sound policy at the expense of people’s lives and livelihoods.

Just a few days ago, a clearly marked Doctors Without Borders bus was struck by an Israeli military airstrike. Now, President Trump has approved sending 40,000 one-ton bombs to Prime Minister Netanyahu. The U.S. can't continue to supply weapons being used to commit war crimes.
