The cuts threaten to leave some of the world\u2019s poorest and most vulnerable people without access to adequate supplies of food, clean water and medicine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In countries like Afghanistan and Yemen, where millions of people do not have enough food, U.S.-backed humanitarian aid was completely cut off. Several countries where conflict has displaced hundreds of thousands of civilians, such as Niger and the Democratic Republic of Congo, lost millions of dollars in support for critical food assistance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The United Nations\u2019 World Food Program, which distributes aid and coordinates shipments, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WFP\/status\/1909340722937184574\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">said on social media<\/a> that the termination of these programs \u201ccould amount to a death sentence for millions of people facing extreme hunger and starvation.\u201d<\/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\">The cuts are part of the Trump administration\u2019s efforts to erase the U.S. Agency for International Development, which for decades has been the government\u2019s main outfit for distributing foreign aid. The State Department has said that it will take control of U.S.A.I.D.\u2019s remaining functions by Aug. 15, and that <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/18\/us\/politics\/foreign-aid-marocco-trump.html\" title=\"\">Pete Marocco<\/a>, who presided over the agency\u2019s initial gutting, will oversee them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Like many of the Trump administration\u2019s recent moves to decimate federal agencies, the latest rollbacks have been drastic and, at times, erratic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Last week, some U.S.A.I.D. officials were given lists of contracts and awards that remained active. But by the weekend, many of those projects had been axed, leaving government workers and outside organizations that carry out many of the programs reeling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Then on Tuesday, some of the programs were restored, with little explanation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The World Food Program was one of the largest implementing organizations to experience whiplash.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The funding cuts that were rolled out over the weekend would have crippled programs in 14 countries: Afghanistan, Chad, Congo, Ecuador, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Madagascar, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. On Tuesday, funding for Ecuador, Iraq, Lebanon, Somalia and Syria was restored.<\/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\">In the countries that remain blacklisted, however, the impact of the cuts could be devastating.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The World Food Program estimates that the loss of U.S. funding in Afghanistan will end food assistance that about two million people rely on \u2014 including approximately 400,000 malnourished children and mothers. In Yemen, food aid for 2.4 million people would come to an end, while in Congo, all food assistance in the eastern part of the country would cease.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Trump administration has also cut funding for the U.N. Humanitarian Air Service, which is managed by the World Food Program and transports aid workers and supplies to remote areas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The cuts are not being carried out through any regular process, according to current and former U.S.A.I.D. employees, who said that the officials who would usually be responsible for terminating awards are learning which programs have been ended from organizations that provide aid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">President Trump appears to have ordered some of the cuts. In an email reviewed by The New York Times, Mr. Marocco told colleagues on Friday that the White House wanted to know \u201cwhether we\u2019ve complied yet with the president\u2019s order to stop all payments to Afghanistan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The White House did not respond to a question regarding Mr. Trump\u2019s role in ordering the cuts to Afghanistan.<\/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\">Other cuts seem to have been orchestrated by Jeremy Lewin, a 28-year-old lawyer who was recently picked to run U.S.A.I.D. and who has been working on the cost-cutting task force assembled by the tech billionaire Elon Musk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Tuesday, in an email he sent to staff members announcing that certain World Food Program funds would be restored, Mr. Lewin apologized for the back and forth, according to people familiar with its contents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Tuesday, Tammy Bruce, a State Department spokeswoman, struggled to answer questions about whether Mr. Rubio had been involved in approving the latest round of cuts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe know, of course, of his full involvement in the beginning. We know that the review had officially ended. We also know of his schedule,\u201d she told reporters, ultimately concluding: \u201cMy goal is to have a more comprehensive answer regarding the process now on the ground for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump issued an executive order in January requiring a \u201cpause\u201d on all foreign aid pending a review. Later that month, Mr. Rubio promised that lifesaving humanitarian assistance would continue unabated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But at a meeting of the World Food Program\u2019s executive board in mid-February, the Trump administration issued a statement signaling a serious caveat to that exemption.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cPresident Trump has stated clearly that the United States is no longer going to dole out money with no return for the American people,\u201d <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/usunrome.usmission.gov\/u-s-national-statement-at-the-wfp-executive-board-first-regular-session-february-18-2025\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">it read<\/a>. \u201cW.F.P. should not be advancing political ideologies while conducting its lifesaving work,\u201d added the statement, which referred to \u201cgender ideology\u201d and diversity, equity and inclusion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Food aid is not the only form of assistance that the Trump administration has continued to scale back, despite Mr. Rubio\u2019s promises. Over the last several days, the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/08\/health\/cdc-hiv-mothers.html\" title=\"\">administration has fired<\/a> the few remaining health officials overseeing H.I.V. prevention and treatment for children and pregnant women through the President\u2019s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some of PEPFAR\u2019s funding remains intact, but staff members, including whole divisions within U.S.A.I.D. and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which together carried out the H.I.V. prevention and treatment, have been laid off. Employees in PEPFAR-funded programs in Africa say they still do not know which services they will be able to continue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Wednesday, the administration made further cuts in global health, ending funding for <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.actntdswest.org\/about\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">a program that was working to end neglected tropical diseases<\/a> including river blindness and intestinal worms in seven of the poorest countries in West Africa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The fate of funding for other major health programs, such as Gavi, an organization that helps to procure vaccines for children in developing countries, remains unclear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid
