Whether the administration has the authority to cancel aid approved by Congress is now the subject of legal pushback. But for global health expertsβ€”and for cities like Los Angelesβ€”the deeper concern is how fast a virus can cross an ocean when the world’s defenses are down.

The government has confirmed only $8.3 billion in unobligated aid remains, down from the $40 billion USAID once administered annually.

Also at risk: malaria prevention programs and disease-tracking efforts in dozens of countries where outbreaks often begin.
