What public health experts say about Trump is true or false?

Public health experts have warned that the Trump administration's dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) could have dire impacts on the spread of disease around the world.

The organization (USAID) had an estimated $35.4 billion in obligations, with most of the funding ($12.3 billion) dedicated to Sub-Saharan Africa.

Since when has the US Government been tasked by the American people to implement a liberal progressive agenda to wipe out diseases in Africa?

Successive American administrations have deemed providing basic healthcare to the world's youngest and most rapidly growing region is in the national interest. It is an inexpensive way of averting natural disaster that may lead to the displacement of millions of people and increase migration flows to the rich world. It also helps America to exert soft power and influence and access emerging economic markets. While America under Trump does not understand the importance of this, China certainly does.

@SunshineGirl The US hasn't stopped, nor will it. It merely is changing the way it will be done. Nothing more.

@nudistsueaz That remains to be seen. However, for the moment more than 90% of the overseas aid budget has been pulled and millions of the world's poorest and most vulnerable are now at risk of dying from wholly preventable diseases.

@SunshineGirl It won't resume until the tax payers know where it is going and what is being used for once it is there. Plain and simple, accountability. You do bring up a good point. What did these countries do before the tax payers started helping?
