The Hill: tRump/Musk 5-Year Death Toll for Eliminating USAID Now Projected at 14-million

A study published Monday found that the closure of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) could result in more than 14 million additional deaths globally by 2030, including 4.5 million deaths of children younger than 5 years.
The findings were released hours before Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the agency would officially shut down following President Trump’s executive order earlier this year aiming to dismantle the agency.

We are talking about Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, and Mao type of #s.

They also stopped the shipment of USAID anti diarrhea meds that stop malnourished people
