The US government has suspended its support for HIV treatment programs in Nigeria and other developing countries after an executive order by President Donald Trump.
The State Department announced a 90-day freeze on the disbursement of funds from the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), a key initiative that provides HIV treatment in Africa and other developing regions.
The decision follows Trump’s executive order on foreign aid, signed on his first day in office last Monday. The move has raised concerns about the potential impact on global health efforts.
