The administration is reshaping vaccine policy, FDA leadership, drug pricing, global-health financing, NIH priorities, nutrition, environmental regulation, and pharmaceutical trade. Sen. Susan Collins and religious leaders are pressing for release of potentially expiring funds, including about $1.35 billion for maternal and child health, malaria, nutrition, and related programs; OMB, USAID, and implementers have not yet publicly resolved the claims.
