Trump’s 9 million death gamble: One year since he axed USAID

Nearly a year after Donald Trump shuttered USAID, the world is
still reckoning with the consequences. But what really happened
next?


Venetia Rainey examines the fallout and what it means for global
health, security, and stability. Joined by Global Health Security
Editor, Paul Nuki, she explores how the abrupt withdrawal of
America’s largest aid agency sent shockwaves through the global
aid system, disrupted lifesaving programmes, and potentially
contributed to millions of preventable deaths.


They are joined by Angeli Achrekar, Deputy Executive Director of
UNAIDS, and Kevin Melton, a former USAID official and now CEO of
PAX Strategies, offering insider perspectives on what was lost
and what may be emerging in its place.
