Myanmar’s devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake has exposed a troubling void in global disaster relief, with critics pointing to the United States’ minimal response as a sign of waning humanitarian leadership. Since the Trump administration drastically cut USAID funding and staff, including those serving in Myanmar, the country has received only $9 million in aid and limited on-ground support. Over 3,500 lives were lost in a nation already grappling with civil war and mass displacement. Experts argue the US retreat is leaving vulnerable populations at greater risk and ceding ground to rival powers in global crisis response. Washington defends the scaled-back approach, urging more global burden-sharing.
