During brief remarks introducing the budget request, Biegun said the administration is asking to"replenish the flexible global health emergency reserve fund to allow us to quickly respond to outbreaks." But that amount -- $25 million -- is a quarter of what Secretary of Statesaid the administration was willing to spend to respond to the novel coronavirus outbreak.

"While I welcome the President's efforts to cut wasteful government spending, we must ensure that cuts don't result in higher costs to taxpayers down the road," said Rep. Michael McCaul, specifically referencing efforts to"support vital global health and food security programs."

I'm sure the budget proposal was written months before the outbreak began and wouldn't get implemented until the virus is long gone.

Don't bite on ABC's phony headline. None of this $3 billion would fight the coronavirus. It goes to third world countries to mostly fund abortions and much of it ends up in the pockets of dictators (or the sons of former US vice presidents).

Trump is the worstpresidentever. He doesn't care about anyone but himself. Is that what God or Jesus would do No. VoteBlueNoMatterWho

Maybe we should use that money here for the healthcare of our own citizens.

This is looking more and more like the prequel to “I am Legend”. When we don’t contain local epidemics- they become pandemics. By the time we start giving a shit it will be too late🤔

we must stop waste n abuse, we must make our social safety nets strong n solvent. MEDICARE FOR ILLEGALS, OPEN BORDERS will make us bankrupt. healthy, able-bodied adults without dependent children r getting medicaid. medicare, ss, face insolvency.

Good, It's about time we quick pain for other countries health care!

So where is the Democrat alternative? Where is their Budget? The last time the House passed a Budget was 1996. So maybe ABC - you should report about the failures of the Democratic-held House.

Trump keeps screwing around on his own with our tax money for programs we need okRepublican Senators which 1 of you has the guts to stop him. His “deals” for himself can wait. Shameful!!

Hard choice, but part of that helps fund WHO, which hasn't exactly done a bang up job in recognizing the immediacy of the coronavirus & mandating travel bans. so...

Absolutely stunning. It's one thing to deny the science behind global climate change (65 degrees in Antarctica?). It's completely another to assume you can keep out a pandemic by pretending it doesn't exist is criminally stupid.

You can't be serious abc.

How dare the American taxpayers not pay for other country's problems.
