Trump’s Decision Could Lead to 14 Million Deaths

Donald Trump has been President of the United States of America for over five months of his second term. During this time, he has made several significant and stringent decisions. While some of these decisions have benefited the US and proven beneficial for the country, others have had negative consequences, causing harm to America. One such decision could lead to a large-scale loss of life.

Trump's Decision Could Result in 14 Million Deaths

A recent report by the medical journal, The Lancet, suggests that a decision made by the US President could result in 14 million deaths worldwide.

What is the Issue?

The question arises: What decision by the US President could lead to 14 million deaths? Upon assuming the presidency for a second term, Trump imposed restrictions or significant cuts on various forms of foreign economic aid. This included a substantial reduction in foreign humanitarian aid. According to The Lancet's report, this decision could lead to 14 million deaths by 2030.

Severe Impact on Poor Countries

Many impoverished nations rely heavily on humanitarian aid. The US has historically been the largest provider of such aid, but Trump believes it to be wasteful. His decision to drastically cut aid will significantly reduce the assistance received by these countries. Consequently, this could lead to increased hunger and disease.

Over 4.5 Million Child Deaths Possible

Children will be the most affected. The Lancet report estimates that over 4.5 million of the 14 million deaths will be children under five years old. This translates to a risk of over 700,000 innocent lives lost annually until 2030.
