Shortly after taking office, US President Donald Trump issued executive actions that upended many foreign-assistance programs, such as the shuttering of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), a major funder of HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment in developing countries since 1961. USAID was the primary government implementer for PEPFAR, which has incurred dramatic cuts to its funding.
The announcement of the cuts prompted warnings from around the world about the potential consequences, jeopardizing the significant global HIV milestones achieved in the past few decades.
