The Trump Administration, working with Congress, plans to allocate $250 million in new assistance to the Philippines to address acute public health challenges. Through this assistance, our governments will work together on tuberculosis and maternal health while investing in preparedness, detection, and response capabilities to reduce the threat of emerging diseases and protect our homelands. This programming builds on the $63 million in assistance announced during President Marcos's July official visit to Washington, which was the first announcement of new assistance for any country following President Trump's review and realignment of foreign assistance. Today's announcement is yet another demonstration of the comprehensive bond between the United States and the Philippines. It also demonstrates the efficient, time-limited, and narrowly targeted approach of this new era of America First foreign assistance.
