Samantha Power: “USAID has not authorized gain of function research.”

We cannot abandon freedom, and we cannot leave Ukraine to be the victim of aggression at a time like this.

It's a $38 billion budget, 60 percent of the budget goes to humanitarian emergencies, literally to provide shelter, food and medicine to keep people alive.

This is no way to treat public servants, and it is no way to advance America's interests.

We have no evidence that USAID has funded gain of function research, and we certainly have not authorized gain of function research.
