The other senators who signed were Tim Kaine of Virginia, Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, Chris Van Hollen of Maryland and Jeff Merkley of Oregon. The senators sent it to Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Rubio and a political appointee at the State Department, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/18\/us\/politics\/foreign-aid-marocco-trump.html\" title=\"\">Pete Marocco<\/a>, oversaw the slashing of foreign aid, and Mr. Bessent\u2019s agency oversees financial sanctions on Myanmar. The senators said in the letter that the U.S. government should grant sanctions waivers to any earthquake relief going into Myanmar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The United States did not send any specialist aid teams to Myanmar after the earthquake hit on Friday. More than 2,700 people have died as buildings there and in neighboring Thailand collapsed, according to the ruling authoritarian military leaders of Myanmar. The junta asked other nations for help. China, Russia and India sent teams and supplies, as did Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As of this past weekend, the United States had not even managed to get a three-person assessment team into the country, The New York Times <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/30\/world\/asia\/myanmar-earthquake-usaid-cuts.html\" title=\"\">reported<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The State Department spokesman said on Friday that crisis teams were on standby, but the severe cuts since late January have decimated the infrastructure for the U.S. government\u2019s Disaster Assistance Response Teams. Many of the contractor specialists for those teams were fired in the U.S.A.I.D. cuts, and the agency\u2019s offices in Washington that would help with transportation and payment logistics have been hobbled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Two agency employees who had expected to be posted this winter to Myanmar and Thailand as humanitarian advisers were told by senior officials weeks ago to stay in Washington because the positions had been cut. On Friday, as those two employees and other colleagues were coordinating responses to the earthquake, they received <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/28\/us\/politics\/usaid-trump-doge-cuts.html\" title=\"\">agencywide emails<\/a> telling them they would be laid off. The emails told everyone to go home that day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Trump administration has also cut contracts for transportation used to send firefighters and rescue workers in Virginia and Southern California to global disaster zones when requested by other countries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The total U.S. government annual spending on foreign aid had been less than one percent of the federal budget.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The United States Embassy in Myanmar announced on Sunday that it would send up to $2 million in aid, much less than recent American administrations have sent for similar disasters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The senate letter cited the Times story from Sunday that revealed the shortcomings of the Trump administration\u2019s response.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cEven as the administration has wittingly undercut our ability to efficiently save lives and promote U.S. interests, we call on the State Department and U.S.A.I.D. to rapidly assess what the United States can still do for people in Burma, including with resources already in the region,\u201d the senators said, using the U.S. government\u2019s preferred name for Myanmar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">They added that the Treasury Department should authorize \u201call transactions related to earthquake relief efforts in Burma that would otherwise be prohibited by U.S. sanctions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Monday, Tammy Bruce, the State Department spokeswoman, said the U.S. government\u2019s assessment team was \u201cin the process of being present right there,\u201d and that disaster experts in Washington, Manila and Bangkok were trying to help.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\"
