“One of the things that is most outrageous is the idea that DOGE and the Trump administration were eliminating or dramatically reducing humanitarian aid on the basis of efficiency and waste,” @nickkristof.bsky.social said in response to USAID cuts. “What they have created is waste and inefficiency.”
msnbc.com
Bearing witness to the harm caused by Trump clawing back billions in foreign aid
Nicholas Kristof, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for the New York Times, says the Trump administration has created “waste and inefficiency” through dismantling USAID, the exact opposite of its intended goal. “I'm just back from East Africa,” he said. “And what I saw was children dying all over from these preventable diseases, of malaria, of infections, of malnutrition.” He points out that when we let things like this fester abroad, they will inevitably become an issue within the U.S., where it’s exponentially more expensive to treat. He uses tuberculous as an example, a disease fairly inexpensive to treat abroad, yet it can cost up to a half million dollars to treat a single antibiotic resistant case in the U.S.
