Trump Administration Claims Funding Cut for Condoms in Gaza is Wasteful
The Trump administration recently halted millions intended for condoms in Gaza, leading to claims of wasted taxpayer dollars. However, investigations show no such funds were earmarked for condoms in the region.
On January 28, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump's White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, announced that millions of dollars in funding for condoms in Gaza had been halted. Leavitt described the funding as a misuse of taxpayer dollars during a discussion on the benefits of Trump's temporary suspension of foreign aid, which affected grants and loans including those for the World Health Organization (WHO).
