Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich is slamming the Trump administration over its plan to destroy 500 metric tons of U.S.-purchased emergency food. The high-energy biscuits, originally meant for children in crisis zones, are set to be incinerated after delays left them sitting in a Dubai warehouse until their expiration.
“1.5 million children could have eaten for a week,” Reich said on X recently. “Now, taxpayers will spend $130K for it to be destroyed. This isn't just inefficient – it's cruel.”
