Trump freezes foreign aid: ‘Major threat to the world,’ says Africa CDC



US President Trump’s executive order halting most foreign aid includes a critical initiative to combat HIV and AIDS. Dr. Jean Kaseya, Director-General of the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, explains the devastating impact this funding pause will have on millions who are suffering and how this poses a significant risk not only to poor countries, but to the entire world. #cnn #News

  1. If it wasn't for the UNELECTED federal worker's waste, fraud and abuse at USAID, the critical humanitarian aid would have never been interrupted. NOW IT IS TIME TO SORT IT OUT. Only Liberals like terrorists will hide behind the weak and vulnerable, trying to focus on legit aid, meanwhile trying to hide the funds going to provide health care to men having sex with men in S. Africa. What about men having sex with women, what about women, what about rape victims, what about ALL THE PROBLEMS IN AMERICA FIRST? OUR DEBT!!!

  2. We Americans now can see that USAID, Americans own taxes, was used to destroy their own country and worse, execute a soft coup using media and s0r0s funded ground work for riots and color wars. Wake up dem voters and choose a side!! Your leadership is lying to you while they rip you off.

  3. Looking at the comments on CNN posts, the American people NOW UNDERSTAND THE GAME!!! They can see who are the liars and who are ripping them off. There will be hell to pay and those who participated will be stripped of their freedoms and money.

  4. You just got to love CNN…. They use nice blanket terms like "foreign aid" so that they don't have to clarify that it really means Hamas and terrorism groups…. And they're not even going to touch the topic that only 15% of the money was actually making it to the AIDS that needed the money. The rest of the 85%…. Going into the pockets of the USAID workers. No wonder they're out shouting that they want to impeach Trump. The endless flow of money from our tax dollars (no small sacrifice) to their pockets just stopped. These media companies should be held accountable for all of the unnecessary stress, anxiety, worry, and fear they put the American people through. They need to just tell the truth.

  5. 501(c)(3) Wow… glad I got all my docs in and the $$$ Multi Million Dollar $$$ check before Trump got in there and shut down the democrats piggy bank. And for the Record:: The Retired Life is Great 👍. Free Money who doesn’t love it!!!

  6. Historically the land has been black for Millenna. C'mon you Indians and White Europeans that have Robbed, Killed and Rape the country for decades. I can't even say this is payback or anything, because the land was never Indian or white European. Now you have this fool of a President wanting to take Gaza from the Palestinians, and I guess in 200 years they'll say the land was white, and never Palestinian.

  7. "And I did work out something: that the rich of the earth indeed create misery, but they cannot bear to see it. They are weaklings and fools just like you. As long as they have enough to eat and can grease their floors with butter so that even the crumbs that fall from your table grow fat, they can't look with indifference on a man collapsing from hunger – although, of course, it must be in front of their house that he collapses.”

    ― Bertolt Brecht, The Threepenny Opera

  8. This is unbelievable. This guy is acting like he cares about African people. No, thank you, Mr. Trump. I actually commend you for freezing the funds because Africa needs to find ways to stand on its own. Besides, that money isn’t being used properly anyway. Instead of helping those in need, it’s being used to enrich a few. So yes, Mr. Trump, keep those funds frozen as long as you can. It’s hard to comprehend how the richest continent on earth can’t take care of itself, all because its leaders refuse to adopt sound leadership instead of always making demands. I sincerely hope they don’t get any aid, so they can learn to rely on themselves and truly serve their people. If African countries had a president like Donald Trump, who prioritizes his own people first, Africa would be better off than many European nations.

  9. Why are millions of tax payer dollars being spent on sending food to other countries when the food can go to food banks and the homeless in the US? Sending food to other countries, payed for with tax dollars does not benefit US citizens at all and should be changed.

  10. South Africa switched to BRICS, they no longer use our money in an effort to hurt our economy. Why do they think we will give them money that they no longer support? F Them, let them get help by the other Brics nations that they are aligned with.

  11. Africa is the richest continent in the world, those huge USAID pay cheques making African already rich Africa politicians more richer..America is NOT Africa Atm machines.kenyans are so happy with president Donald Trump decision.

  12. Eye opener for Africa, too much dependence syndrome. Dr. Kaseya, why can't we manufacture our own drugs when we are busy educating pharmacists and scientists/researchers all over Africa? Look at bukina faso refusing western aid but doing well. Let's stop depending on the west and unite as a continent. We have all we need.

  13. We dont need USA. They get more from us than what they give us. All the human and natural resources are in africa. All we need is proper governance and unity. America should help the homeless in America and control the drug problems,

  14. Im sure western countries have their own problems to sort out , so their own People should be their own priority first instead of paying for someone else failed banana republic dictators mistakes

  15. The whole actions of the new US government are the first steps of the US to make themselves dispensable in the future and weakening their influence in the whole world. Are they paid by the opponents of the US? one should believe this.😅

  16. The world does not need funding//programs from USA, who in turn interfere with receipent country's internal affairs.

    USA only needs to pay their dues to the UN and
    Let the UN to deal with this type of things.

  17. Y'all catch on to the real news too late. Thats CNNs problem. Its always been that way. Stoo what Donald Trump is doing around the world. He will cause deadly conflicts in the world.

  18. Trump don't give them another penny, stop being a sucker for these third world countries. The high officials, Their children go to boarding schools. No more! We died in the US unless we have insurance. Everybody has to pay the pay on their own. Figure it out, you free loading greedy people! Stop asking the US for anything. The vault is locked!

  19. I've been hearing that Trump is stopping Prep for the gay community. It's medication to help prevent people from getting HIV. Does anyone know where I can find an interview of Trump saying these exact words cause many are thinking this, and I don't believe it's true.

  20. How about people in Africa start using condoms and practising safe sex? Ive seen it first hand in SA…where condoms are freely available and no one bothers to take and use them.
