US Aid Cuts: Mother Disputes Rubio's Claim | JQJO

Secretary of State Marco Rubio claims no deaths resulted from US aid cuts, but Mariam Mohammed disputes this, stating her son died due to a USAID-funded clinic closure in Nigeria. The clinic, shut down due to a funding review, reopened two months later, after her son's death. A Boston University study estimates tens of thousands of deaths due to the cuts, though this figure is contested by Rubio. Mohammed's story highlights the impact of aid cuts on vulnerable populations.
