From the U.K. Daily Mail,
More than 14 million people could die as a result of Donald Trump’s foreign aid cuts, a new study has found.
The US President’s administration announced it had slashed 83 per cent of programmes run by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) shortly after he returned to the White House for a second term.
And now research published in the leading medical journal, Lancet, has predicted that 14 million people – 4.5 million of whom are children under the age of five – could die by 2030 as a result.
There are something like 195 independent nations on the planet, and not a single one, other than America,

Isn't Lancet a British journal? So if they are so worried about 14 million dying, why aren't they pushing the British government to pick up the cancelled programs/payments?

Oh stop. Give up the guilt trip. American taxpayers cannot and should not support the world.

Glahn is pointing out that only American money is used to save these people, while all the other countries sit on their hands and do nothing. In other words, he's pointing out the stupidity of the Lancet's argument.

It’s time for the Euro trash and the Communist murderers to step up and take over that heroic role of funding endless boondoggles.

Another lie. And even if it were true, it is not our job to feed the world via handouts.
But, it is a lie.

If the UK is truly worried that this will happen, then the will do whatever it takes to fund it themselves. If they don't fund it then they really don't care if 14 million die.

The Lancet used to be a respectable British medical magazine, but it too has gone woke and far left. This is nonsense.

So.... why doesn't Lancet start some GoFundMe accounts to get voluntary donations?

Have people totally forgotten ‘personal responsibility’? How is it the responsibility of the U.S. to care for the rest of the world? The U.K. needs to set their minds to resolving their muslim problem, lest they fade away.

So, according to this article we have been supporting the world. Maybe it is time for the rest of the world to step up to the plate now.

Paul Ehrlich forecasted in 1968 that 65 million Americans would die of starvation between 1980 and 1989, and by 1999 the U.S. population will decline to 22.6 million.
They have been lying to us for generations.

I thought the left believe in over population and that the human race needs to be reduced in number. So what's the problem?

I recall reading a couple of articles in the last month or so regarding 'Aid' to Gaza.
For who knows how long, USAID money went to the crooked UN, who then (after skimming off a nice slice of 'Overhead' cream) delivered truck after truck of 'Aid to Gaza', where it was promptly and openly stolen by Hamas.
Hamas then kept what they wanted, then SOLD the rest at a steep price to the Gaza civilians. When, recently, a different organization organized directly by Americans and Israelis started delivering food to the civilians, many of them were very surprised. "What? This is FREE? We don't have to PAY for this?"
My gut tells me cutting USAID is more like "Millions of Grifters in the Supply Chain will find their pockets unlined."
The US Federal government is $37,000,000,000,000 (more accurately expressed as $3.7x10(exponent 13) in debt.
Forget 'Anthropogenic Climate Disruption'. THIS is the Unsustainable Process that the US HAS to fix, or the US economy will collapse. I would not be surprised if US economic collapse is the true objective of many foreign governments as well as the leftist 'Cloward-Piven' Democ'Rats here in the US.
As far as assisting the people in foreign lands who really do need help, be it from natural disaster or crop failure, it's time for all these foreign governments -who are much closer to the scene- as well as all these uber-wealthy 'Non-Profit Organizations' and 'Non-Government Organizations' to step up to the plate and put THEIR money where their mouths are!

USAID was nothing more than a scam on American taxpayers. It included programs that had nothing to do with health care. Sesame Street teaching transgender garbage to kids in IRAN! A drag show supported by our money ! No If the health of the world is at stake then explain to me what the WHO is for. Doctors Without Borders! Don’t we support that. With donations! There are other programs that our tax money is used for the health care of the world. USAID is a democrat supported money laundering operation. If it wasn’t, the world population would be a lot healthier already.

USAID should be stopped immediately and investigated for fraud. There are a lot of fingers in that pot that aren't entitled.

Get the UK, and the rest of the European countries to kick in to make up for the shortfall.
We have been bailing out foreign countries for long enough. We have our own problems to work out. A 36 TRiLLION dollar debt.

I thought millions were dying from climate change, melting glaciers and rising sea level! Now they're dying from no USAID? Which is it? I thought the Global World Order wanted millions to die to ease over population - no?

If the people in those backward nations starve it will be because of USAID where free food encourages people to not fend for themselves but become dependent upon handouts. We see that right here in America where the gimmedat crowd takes their SNAP, EBT and whatever cards to the grocery store to fatten up their kids and themselves. Job? We don' need no steenking job!"
