Elton John Says Trump Could Be Greatest President if He Eradicates AIDS
Elton John praised Trump's potential legacy if AIDS is eradicated amid concerns over U.S. funding cuts to HIV/AIDS programs, with $650 million raised by his foundation.
- Last month, Elton John said President Donald Trump could be judged among the greatest presidents if he eradicated AIDS during a Variety interview.
- This year, the United States under President Donald Trump chose not to officially recognize World AIDS Day, and Tommy Pigott, State Department spokesperson, said the move aligns with modernizing infectious disease approaches.
- The Elton John AIDS Foundation has raised more than $650 million since 1992 to support millions with HIV worldwide and has bipartisan backing from Sen. Lindsey Graham and Sen. Chris Coons .
- John said people living with HIV are unable to obtain medicines because governments restricting access harm millions, and it's frustrating that PrEP and antiretrovirals remain inaccessible to many.
- The comments follow a UNAIDS report last month that cuts to United States Agency for International Development are having 'profound, lasting effects' as John said many leaders focus on the Israel-Gaza ceasefire.
