Prohibiting Destruction of Foreign Aid: Saving Lives and Taxpayer Dollars
New rules aim to ensure that U.S. foreign aid, such as food, medicine, and vaccines, reaches those in need before it expires. This means less waste and more effective support for people in crisis, leading to better use of taxpayer money and saving lives.
Key points

Prohibits destruction of products unless all other options for use (sale, donation) have been exhausted.
Requires reporting on all products that expired, spoiled, or were destroyed before reaching recipients, including reasons and costs.
