The Trump administration has been criticized after it emerged that food for malnourished children will be incinerated as foreign aid is cut.

Recent revelations show that the United States plans to incinerate tons of expired biscuits for malnourished children in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Michael Rigas of the State Department acknowledged that this is the result of the USAID shutdown and promised to investigate. The Trump administration's drastic cut in foreign aid has sparked criticism, with senators expressing concern that resources are being wasted rather than distributed.
