'Pure evil': Trump admin sparks firestorm with move to hold HIV treatment hostage

The Trump administration's latest "pure evil" move sparked outrage among political analysts and observers on Monday.

The New York Times reported that the Trump administration's Department of State has drafted a memo outlining reasons to withhold money for "lifesaving" H.I.V. reduction programs in Zambia to force the African country to hand over more of its rare earth minerals. The move could impact as many as 1.3 million Zambians who rely on the programs for medical treatment, according to the report.
