 The Hill published on 24 March 2025 an article titled "The Savings from Shuttering USAID Aren't Worth the Global Costs" by Neil Schluger, New York Medical College.

The author describes the fallout from the absence of USAID participation in and funding of a program in Ethiopia to control tuberculosis.  The amount of money saved is miniscule while the consequences are deadly.
