US EditionAs US Abruptly Ends Support, Liberia Faces Empty Health Clinics and Unplanned Pregnancies
- In Liberia, five months ago, farmer Roseline Phay began searching for contraceptives at a village clinic that had none due to an abrupt U.S. aid suspension.
- The halt in funding from a major U.S. international aid program, which had supported medications and healthcare initiatives, left many clinics largely without essential supplies.

- Deputy Finance Minister Zuo warned that aid cuts create serious healthcare challenges that Liberia's government cannot fill, while experts see this as an opening for China to expand influence.
