In the wake of USAID’s shuttering by billionaire Elon Musk and President Donald Trump, those familiar with USAID’s work have been fighting for the restoration of key programs, like those that relieve the starvation of children, while bracing for the impact of the cuts around the world.
One of the most high-profile programs since Musk’s gutting of USAID was a program that supplied acutely malnourished children with a peanut-based food product called Plumpy Nut meant to help save children who are unable to ingest normal food safely. This program was first cut by Trump and his billionaire partner before being reinstated after significant public pressure.
