The 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Myanmar came at a time when Myanmar needed more aid and the Trump administration was cutting US foreign aid.

Late on March 28 (US time), US President Donald Trump said he had spoken with officials in Myanmar, adding that Washington would provide some form of assistance to the country after the recent earthquake.

“We will help,” Mr. Trump told reporters at the White House.

According to the update as of the morning of March 29 (Vietnam time), the death toll in the 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Myanmar remains at 144, with the number of casualties expected to continue to rise as the Earthquake Hazard Program of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) predicts that the death toll could range from 10,000 to 100,000 people.

As the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) faces the threat of closure amid a Trump administration downsizing, State Department consolidates Tammy Bruce said USAID disaster experts are ready to help, including with items like food and water.

“USAID has maintained a team of disaster experts who are capable of responding if a occurrence,” Ms. Bruce spoke at a press conference.

“We are ready to act now. There is no impact on the ability to execute those missions, to the requests for assistance when they come in,” Ms Bruce added.

Amnesty International says the earthquake could not have come at a worse time for Myanmar, given the number of people displaced, the urgent need for relief, and the Trump administration’s cuts to US foreign aid.

Since the military ousted Aung San Suu Kyi’s civilian government in 2021, the military government has struggled to run Myanmar, leaving the country’s economy and basic services including health care in dire straits.

Myanmar has also suffered a series of natural disasters in recent years, at the same time as the military government has been internationally isolated
