The Trump administration's decision to incinerate 500 metric tons of emergency food instead of distributing it to children in Afghanistan and Pakistan reflects a severe policy shift. This food is set to expire just as basic needs soar in these regions. The cost to burn the food exceeds the perceived benefits of the order, making the decision appear both wasteful and unethical. The abandonment of foreign aid and soft power strategies raises concerns about long-term consequences on U.S. foreign relations and humanitarian efforts.
Nearly 500 metric tons of emergency food—enough to feed about 1.5 million children for a week—are set to expire tomorrow, according to current and former government employees.
The Trump administration has given the order to incinerate food instead of sending it to people abroad who need it, particularly in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The abandonment of the concept of 'soft power' in our foreign policy is something for which we're going to pay for years.
The chloroforming of USAID was stupid and despicable at the time, and it hasn't become less stupid and less despicable with time.
