Since taking office, Trump has:
• Tried to slash national health spending by $15 billion.
• Cut the disease-fighting budgets of DHS, NSC, HHS, and CDC — paring back the global health section of the latter so profoundly, it went from operating in 49 nations to just 10.
• Allowed the ranks of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps to steadily erode (after trying and failing to shrink its budget by 40 percent).
• Eliminated the federal government’s $30 million Complex Crises Fund.
• Shut down the National Security Council’s entire global health security unit.
