“Eugene Cho of Bread for the World estimates that cuts to USAID by Donald Trump and Elon Musk have already caused about 400,000 deaths globally.”

He “estimates” because those are projections, unverified in actuality.

I lived in Africa for many years. USAID is insanely corrupt and political. If its demise causes deaths, I hold it largely responsible.

If you click on the link, you'll see there is lots of research to back up the numbers. I'm going with the data over your gut feeling. Can USAID be improved? Yes. But if people die because it's cut, that's literally the fault of those who cut it & actually proves it was saving lives! -Brian
