The United States has decided to spend 160 thousand dollars on burning these reserves at the French disposal factory.
Nearly $ 10 million contraceptives funded by the US government will be burned to France after Washington rejected the proposals of UN and charity organizations to transfer these funds to the necessary countries. This was reported by two resources to Reuters.
We talk about contraceptive implants, tablets and intrauterine spirals. For months they have been stored in a warehouse in the Belgian city of Gel after President Donald Trump in January frozen the US external aid program.
To burn a party worth $ 9.7 million, the US government will spend another $ 160 thousand. The destruction will take place in France in a specialized business, which disposes of medical waste.
Despite the efforts of charity organizations, such as MSI reproductive options, which offer to pay for the re -abolition and delivery of USAID -free drugs, the US government has abandoned the transaction.
The UN Agency for Reproductive Health (UNFPA) also offered to redeem contraceptives, said three sources of Reuters. However, negotiations have fallen, including due to the lack of response of the Trump administration.
Reserves contain contraceptives with expiry date until 2031. According to resources, for exporting products from the warehouse to Belgium, twelve -two trucks and at least two weeks are required.
Earlier in the White House they criticized $ 50 million for condoms for GAZ sector residents. Thereafter, the United States Department of State suspended foreign assistance to study costs.
