The United States plans to cut its health funding to 18 countries by 59% of pre-2025 levels by 2030, according to a Public Citizen and Partners In Health analysis of the bilateral agreements the US has signed with these countries.
The bilateral Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) were signed as part of the ‘America First Global Health Strategy’ adopted by the Trump administration in 2025, and are intended to rapidly wean countries off US aid by 2030.
The reduction amounts to a cut of some $2 billion to US aid dispensed before 2025, according to Public Citizen, which analysed the MOUs – some of which it initially obtained via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Trump administration.
