Donald Eason, president of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education, wrote an op-ed for The Washington Examiner published on Mother’s Day about what President Donald Trump is doing to save lives overseas without wasting our tax dollars.
An excerpt:
“In the most impoverished countries of the world, the challenges mothers face are quite different but oftentimes more dire when trying to protect their children from the illnesses and diseases rampant in their countries. These women and their families are often fighting diseases no longer thought of in the United States — malaria, tuberculosis, and infectious diseases that especially affect children, as well as passing HIV to children.
“President Donald Trump has reprioritized our foreign aid dollars to focus on the most desperate in need. As one of the richest countries in the world, we can afford to provide humanitarian relief and protect our national security at the same time. As Christians, we cannot turn our backs on the poor and needy, even if they are half a world away.
…
“The Trump administration’s Global Health Strategy declares that the U.S. ‘will continue to be the world’s health leader and most generous nation in the world.’ American investments to stop the spread of infectious diseases at our borders and save the lives of millions of people, particularly the most vulnerable in poor countries, is an America First priority.”
