Speaking in Des Moines, celebrity chef José Andrés, whose nonprofit World Central Kitchen is providing millions of meals in war-ravaged areas like Ukraine and Gaza, urged President Donald Trump to reconsider killing USAID and billions of dollars in foreign food assistance.

He joined 28 World Food Prize Laureates in a Wednesday letter that calls for the U.S. and other countries to double their investment in both emergency food aid and sustainable agriculture.
