Was just on CNN HD USA on UK TV
https://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/16/p...er-funded-food https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/...royed-official [The United States is set to destroy nearly 500 metric tons of US-taxpayer funded emergency food meant for starving people around the world. The high-energy, nutrient-dense biscuits have been sitting for months in a warehouse in Dubai, according to a former USAID official. Now, because they expire this month, they will have to be destroyed – at an extra $100,000 charge to the American taxpayers. The former official, who spoke anonymously to discuss the details, said the destruction of the critically needed food would not have happened prior to the Trump administration’s destruction of the US Agency for International Development. “This is the definition of waste,” the former official said.] Expensive Waste of life-saving food. |

[The high-energy, nutrient-dense biscuits
have been sitting for months in a warehouse in Dubai] A charity asked if they could take that but America refused, simply because each bit of food was wrapped in USA Aid Food wrapping. |
