CALLING ON TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO RESTORE LIFESAVING FOOD AID
(Mr. MAGAZINER asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. MAGAZINER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today for the 26th time to call on
the Trump administration to honor its word and restore funding for
lifesaving food aid around the world.
Mr. Speaker, the words from the Trump administration have been pretty
good on this. Elon Musk said that funding for emergency food aid will
be restored. Marco Rubio has repeatedly said he was going to do it.
They even got FOX News to write a glowing online article about their
plans to restore funding.
Yet, it has been 6 months since they cut this funding off. It has
been 6 months, and every day that they wait is another day that
children die of starvation unnecessarily.
Every day, there are children whose organs are shutting down, who are
unable to eat conventional food, and who can only have their lives
saved by ready-to-use therapeutic food manufactured in the United
States.
Every day, the clock is ticking. The administration needs to do what
it said it is going to do: restore funding for this aid. I will
continue to stand on this floor every day until they do.
