Beyond the dangerous implications for #GlobalHealth, the #rescissions package undermines the integrity of the congressional appropriations process and raises serious concerns about executive overreach. Read our full statement here: ow.ly/WFA050WrSuz

The global health community is calling on Congress to reject the $9.4 Billion #Rescissions Package. Continued U.S. investment in #GlobalHealth is a strategic imperative for national security, economic stability & American leadership.

There is no indication that the White House consulted with Congress before proposing the #rescissions package. These funds were just appropriated by Congress just months ago.

Questions remain about how the Trump Admin will comply with legal requirements for obligating funds under the Impoundment Control Act and existing appropriations language, raising concerns about adherence to Congressional intent.

When the U.S. retracts #ForeignAid support, it signals a retreat from inclusive, equitable, & evidence-based public health leadership and weakens trust & effectiveness globally.

The #rescissions represent roughly 0.1% of annual federal spending, offering negligible fiscal savings while risking significant harm to #GlobalHealth, development, U.S. foreign policy objectives, and Congress’ Constitutional authority to appropriate funds.

The funding cuts to U.N. agencies like UNICEF and the UNFPA diminish the U.S. role in multilateral initiatives. This weakens global cooperation, cedes diplomatic ground to other nations & undermines U.S. foreign policy and security objectives.

Foreign aids #rescissions will likely force the closure of thousands of health programs, clinics & vaccination campaigns, disproportionately affecting LMICs & increasing global health inequities. Cutting these funds would end lifesaving programs, increase suffering & put millions of lives at risk.

These cuts target critical areas such as #MNCH, #FamilyPlanning, #HIVAIDS & infectious disease control. Reducing funding risks increased outbreaks of diseases. The long-term costs of preventable pandemics far outweigh the short-term savings from these cuts.

The #rescissions package would be a significant rollback of bipartisan investments and partnerships that have defined America’s leadership on the global stage, threatening the nation’s reputation as a principled and effective leader in #GlobalHealth.

Cutting $900 million from #GlobalHealth programs, including $400 million from #PEPFAR, directly undermines U.S. leadership in international health and security efforts, puts lives at risk, and damages America’s standing, influence, and security interests in an interconnected world.

A survey of over 100 organizations across six continents highlights the continued damage of cuts to U.S. #ForeignAid on communities and health systems around the globe: ➡️ In Colombia, a drastic reduction in mental health services is compounding the migrant crisis
