Trump administration destroys $10 million in USAID contraceptives for low-income countries

The Trump administration ordered the destruction of nearly $10 million worth of contraceptives intended for low-income countries. These birth control supplies were purchased by USAID and stored in Belgium. The administration stated it would no longer fund such products, deeming them not "lifesaving." International organizations offered to take the contraceptives at no cost to the U.S., but these offers were reportedly rejected before the destruction occurred.
