The Trump administration has unveiled a detailed proposal for steep spending cuts in 2026, including unprecedented reductions in health spending. These cuts have resulted in billions of dollars being cut from federal funding for medical research. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent figure in the administration, has drawn criticism for actions that include attempts to bar government scientists from publishing in leading medical journals.

His department's MAHA report has been found to contain numerous errors, misrepresentations, and references to fictional studies. Kennedy has also singled out private funders for criticism amidst these changes. The combination of funding cuts and controversial policies under Kennedy's leadership has raised concerns about the United States potentially losing its position as a global leader in medical research and innovation, with industry stakeholders scrambling to respond to the rapid developments.
