Hi John,

Late last month, a 90-day pause on US foreign assistance sent shockwaves across the globe, imperiling the lives of millions, derailing progress against preventable disease, and opening the door for our adversaries to fill a leadership void.

Don’t get me wrong, threats to lives and health abroad are of the most urgent concern. But we must acknowledge that these decisions could have major financial impacts on American farmers, businesses, and universities.

We’ve scoured the internet and pulled together some examples of how this decision to halt US foreign assistance is reverberating across the country. Read the blog now. 

Here is a preview:

• A fertilizer center in Alabama could lose 30% to 40% of its funding base without USAID support, which could endanger global food security.
• Iowa, Illinois and Missouri are just a few of the states that will see major impacts from farm research lab closures.
• In Pennsylvania, a study that has been halted was working to control a viral disease spread by an aphid that was hurting banana crops in Tanzania.
