‘Pitiful’: experts condemn initial US aid contribution for Nepal flood victims

Sum of $500,000 has been increased as death toll passes 1,000 but specialists decry Trump dismantling of USAID

The modest sum – which has since been increased – allocated in response to the devastation caused by mudslides in the mountainous Asian country was mocked on social media , where users contrasted it with the amount spent on other Trump administration priorities.
