Millions of dollars’ worth of contraceptives due to be distributed to people in low-income countries have been destroyed under the instructions of the Trump administration, an aid agency said Thursday.
Birth control pills, intrauterine devices and hormonal implants worth nearly $10 million were purchased by the U.S. Agency for International Development before it was mostly dismantled earlier this year. They were intended to go to low-income countries, but have now been destroyed as the Trump team continues to shrink the agency and the federal budget.
