Trump cannot stop America help to Uganda – Ambassador Malac

Trump cannot stop America help to Uganda – Ambassador Malac
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

As Donald Trump becomes president of the US, Ugandans should stop wondering whether there will be changes in the aid the country gets from the US.

According, the United States Ambassador to Uganda Ms Deborah Malac has said that it is impossible for newly inaugurated US president Doanld Trump to stop the help that her country is offering Uganda and Africa at large.

Ms Malac said that she does not expect the Trump-led administration to stop funding sectors such as health and military   in Uganda and Africa in general Africa.

Ms Malac was speaking to selected journalists on the sidelines of the 54th Franco-German friendship treaty on Sunday.

Ms Malac said programmes such as the Presidential Emergency Relief Program for Africa (Pepfar) and the military interventions in Somalia and the Central African Republic have enjoyed support of both leaders in US Congress, Republicans and democrats and she does not expect the Donald Trump administration to scrap it off.

“Like I have always said after the November election, programmes like Pepfar in Uganda have enjoyed bi-partisan support of Congress, Republicans, and Democrats and I do not expect this to change,” she the jolly envoy said.

Malac’s remarks follow Trump’s inauguration on Friday where he said that the US has been giving aid to outside countries yet America’s infrastructure is getting damaged.

Mr Trump then said that his administration would only consider “America first” before helping outsiders.

Protest in US

Following president Donald Trump’s inauguration last Friday, several protests broke out in major world cities including the US itself and the United Kingdom where especially women and children marched in protest of Donald Trump’s attempts to repeal the Obama healthcare policy which seeks to address issues of maternal and child health care.
