Trump administration halts program to track abducted Ukrainian children, lawmakers say
WASHINGTON, March 18 (Reuters) - Democratic U.S. lawmakers will call on President Donald Trump's administration to restore a program that helps track thousands of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia, and to use sanctions to punish those responsible for the rights violation.
As it slashes a wide range of U.S. government programs and most foreign aid, the Republican president's administration has ended a government-funded initiative led by Yale University's Humanitarian Research Lab (Yale HRL) that tracked the mass deportation of children from Ukraine, the lawmakers said.
That decision meant researchers have lost access to a trove of information, including satellite imagery and other data, about some 30,000 children taken from Ukraine.

I wonder if this was one of the things Putin asked Don to do during their recent call? The call resulting in Putin making zero concessions while making all sorts of demands to agree to a ceasefire on energy infrastructure. A pledge he immediately broke.
I spoke to someone at the gym the other day. Someone I barely know. When we began to discuss politics he said, not knowing how I would react, he believes trump is the anti-christ. As an atheist I can't go there. But Don is most definitely evil.
