The administration of United States President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to terminate financial support for Gavi, a global organization that supplies vaccines to children in developing countries. Internal documents reveal the administration’s intentions to proceed with these funding cuts.

The plans also include significant reductions in support for global efforts to combat malaria. These actions would represent a major shift in the United States’ role in international health and humanitarian assistance.

Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, has played a key role in vaccinating millions of children worldwide against deadly diseases. The potential loss of U.S. funding could impact its operations and weaken global public health initiatives.

In addition to targeting Gavi and malaria programs, the administration has already implemented steep cuts to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The State Department has ended most international aid programs as part of efforts to reduce the size of federal agencies.

These measures align with broader goals to downsize government spending abroad and focus resources domestically, although they may reduce the United States’ longstanding influence in global development and health.
