Too expensive to feed the hungry?

Re “Trump’s foreign aid cuts stir alarm,” March 20

It is truly appalling and makes me feel heart-sick that at a time of looming famine for countries like South Sudan, Somalia and Yemen, instead of the United States leading the way as we have for so many years in trying to ameliorate the suffering among some of the most vulnerable children in the world, we will instead be in the caboose of this effort under President Trump’s budget proposal.

For those religious persons and leaders who advocated voting for Trump, I hope they will at least speak out in these matters.

How does this possibly adhere to any kind of Christian value? How will building more and more weaponry while standing by and letting people and children starve actually contribute to a more stable world? Stacey Cole
