The article discusses Bill Gates' criticism of Elon Musk for massively cutting USAID's global humanitarian programs, resulting in millions of child deaths. It highlights Gates' commitment to investing $200 billion in public health over 20 years to combat issues like malnutrition and women's health in poorer regions. Additionally, it critiques Trump's approach to foreign diplomacy, suggesting that effective global leadership requires soft power and humanitarian efforts rather than merely transactional deals, as demonstrated by the historical successes of American diplomacy during the Cold War.
The world's richest man has been involved in the deaths of the world's poorest children. Musk has decided to put USAID in the wood chipper, resulting in millions of additional child deaths.
Gates announced that he'll be spending down his own $200 billion fortune over the next 20 years to promote public health in Asia and Africa, addressing malnutrition and women's health.
Amid the blizzard of executive orders, Gates highlighted the cuts that will do lasting damage to America's global leadership and its legacy of humanitarianism.
It's much easier to exercise world leadership with willing followers, and public health diplomacy is a vital part of that effort, illustrating the importance of soft power.
