Rep. Amo Exposes Rubio: Children Starving While Food Rots in U.S

Rep. Gabe Amo just confronted Secretary of State Marco Rubio with a devastating reality: while famine spreads across Sudan, Yemen, and other regions, 185,000 boxes of U.S.-made therapeutic food are sitting unused in a Rhode Island warehouse. These life-saving rations — proven to rescue children from severe malnutrition — are bought and paid for by American taxpayers, yet Rubio’s State Department has failed to deliver them.

Amo didn’t just press Rubio with statistics. He brought a box of this food to the hearing, holding up the proof of U.S. government dysfunction. Meanwhile, children are dying, aid workers are waiting, and U.S. companies producing this product are laying off workers because of delays.

This isn’t just mismanagement — it’s a moral crisis. America has long led the world in humanitarian aid. But when food sits in warehouses while kids starve, that leadership collapses. And Rubio’s excuses — claiming America “does more than anyone else” — don’t answer the core question: why isn’t this food moving now?

Rep. Amo is demanding accountability — and even introducing legislation to ensure the Secretary of State can no longer hide behind excuses. Because when lives are at stake, excuses don’t feed children.
