How Trump’s USAID Cuts Wrecked Lives and Killed Children (w/ Nick Kristof)

A miracle food paste for malnourished children, that taxpayers have already paid for, is collecting dust in warehouses. Drugs donated to fight parasitic infections remain undistributed and are nearing their expiration dates. American-purchased ambulances sit idle because they have no gas. USAID was shut down in the name of government efficiency, but instead, we've spent at least $6 billion to dismantle it—and we've killed a lot of kids in the process, despite what Elon and Marco Rubio say.
