The Trump Administration is ending aid that it says saves lives [The Atlantic] ↳

Based on an internal State Department email obtained by The Atlantic, the Trump administration is moving to end all humanitarian funding to seven African countries including Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Malawi, Mali, Niger, Somalia, and Zimbabwe, canceling programs it had previously classified as lifesaving, with the stated rationale that there is "no strong nexus between the humanitarian response and U.S. national interests."
