There is an Ebola outbreak in Africa, nearly 600 suspected cases and 139 deaths reported. Experts believe Trump's withdrawal from the WHO and cuts to foreign aid have weakened critical health networks, making it more difficult to respond effectively to such outbreaks.

After cutting its support for frontline healthcare workers in Central Africa, the Trump administration is pointing fingers.
A
s an Ebola outbreak continues to rage in Central Africa, the Trump administration keeps trying to blame the World Health Organization — revealing what experts say is a deep misunderstanding about global disease response.
In the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, local health workers have been battling the devastating virus without adequate supplies, testing materials, or international support. The outbreak is further complicated by the rare strain of the disease, known as Bundibugyo, that standard field tests often miss and for which there are no vaccines or therapeutics. At least 62 people in Congo and one in Uganda have died
according to WHO
, but experts say this is likely a significant undercount due to the outbreak emerging in a remote, war-torn region…
The Ebola epidemic makes it especially unfortunate that Trump didn't actually end any of the wars he imagined he ended www.nytimes.com/2026/05/30/w...

And there is even more: right now, a devastating Ebola outbreak is tearing through Africa because of Donald Trump. On his very first days back in office, he used Elon Musk's new (DOGE) to feed the USAID -the agency that funded global health and epidemic prevention-straight into the wood chipper.
Obama had an epidemic unit in the CDC. Trump got rid of it because it was Obama's project. That's the reason we aren't prepared for this problem or ebola. Trump will end up killing us all.

Ebola is in Kampala.
Ugandan authorities yesterday confirmed
the death of a healthcare worker
—a nurse—from Ebola. A city of over 4 million is now at the center of an outbreak. The fact that a healthcare worker was affected suggests that the virus is already spreading in high-risk settings.
Under normal circumstances, there would be no need to panic. Since the 2014 West Africa Ebola outbreak, local health officials in Africa and the international community have become skilled at containing outbreaks before they spread out of control. There have been at least eight separate outbreaks in the region, but all have been contained. None spread internationally, least of all to the United States.
At the center of these efforts to stop the international spread of Ebola are the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control…

Public health experts report that the Trump administration's global health policies have severely hindered the current African Ebola outbreak response. The administration's actions have left critical gaps in detection and resource management, significantly impairing containment and relief operations
In the past when there was an Ebola outbreak, there were protocols in place and it was quickly contained. Why is this different? Oh yeah…Trump dismantled and stopped funding.
