The Administration has gutted U.S. international assistance programs around the world. Smart, cost-effective investments help prevent conflicts and the spread of deadly disease; deliver lifesaving food, medicine, and shelter to people in need; foster self-reliance; curb illegal migration and drug trafficking; and enable America to outcompete rivals like China, Russia, and Iran.
- The abrupt cutoff of these critical programs actively undermines U.S. interests, and our adversaries are stepping into the vacuum. This has not only put the lives of tens of millions of people around the world at risk, it also poses a clear and present danger to American lives and livelihoods and to U.S. strategic interests around the world.
- As the fallout of the current shutdown and termination of programs becomes more clear, it is critical for Congress and the Administration to restore U.S. international assistance programs that are lifesaving and advance American interests.
- Now is the time to urge Members of Congress that you, as their constituent, believe that U.S. international assistance makes America #saferstronger and more prosperous.
