There is no "could"; the cuts to USAID will lead to an extensive loss of life in the global south, from HIV-AIDS, conflict and insecurity to basic deprivation. There is no "could"; they will. We should not be afraid to say that. There is a moral imperative to make sure that people are reminded of that.

As regards debt, I will attend a financing for development conference in Seville next month where we will discuss the future of financing for development. One of the discussion items, at the behest of our Spanish friends, will be the area of restructuring debt. I am more than happy to engage further with the committee to discuss in detail how we might take a proactive approach to that.
