Since the return of Donald Trump to the White House, he and his Republican allies have been working overtime to destroy the U.S. government's overseas humanitarian aid programs. Although the U.S. government has a lengthy record of assisting people of other nations stricken by hunger, war, and illness, such assistance is being rapidly dismantled, putting the lives of the world's poorest people in jeopardy. The result, according to the United Nations, is "a triage of human survival," with "114 million people facing life-threatening needs across the world."
