Trump's team says 'no children' died from USAID cuts. Consider these 3 cases
politics
NPR News reports that Marco Rubio and Elon Musk, who led the effort to wind down the U.S. foreign aid agency USAID, have both said no deaths can be linked to the cuts in its funding. But NPR spoke with parents who tell a different story, pointing to three cases that they say contradict that claim. The account centers the families' testimony against the officials' assurances, leaving the dispute over what the funding cuts have cost squarely unresolved.
