U.S. planned to end health aid to Zimbabwe on Sept. 30 after rejected ‘America First’ deal

The Washington Post reported that the Trump administration planned to end U.S. global health funding to Zimbabwe on September 30, 2026, after Zimbabwe rejected an ‘America First’ aid deal. The U.S. had until recently supported more than 40 percent of Zimbabwe’s HIV-related spending. Zimbabwean officials said a health-data-sharing clause was the biggest obstacle; the State Department said partners would have a short, unspecified window to close U.S.-funded programs.
