Office of the Spokesperson

The United States is committing to rapidly supporting the Ebola outbreak response by funding up to 50 treatment clinics, and associated frontline costs being established in Ebola-affected regions of the DRC and Uganda. These rapidly deployed clinics will enable implementing partners to establish clinical care and containment perimeters around affected areas.  Clinics will provide emergency Ebola screening, triage, and isolation capacity.

This U.S. funding commitment will accelerate the delivery of frontline medical care, life-saving humanitarian assistance, and critical outbreak response capabilities to communities at greatest risk. Incremental rapid U.S. funding will stimulate the expansion of emergency treatment capacity, strengthen field operations, and accelerate the delivery of protective equipment, diagnostics, and essential health services where they are needed most. We know from previous outbreak response that ensuring partners rapidly scale up containment and treatment efforts in the affected regions is the most critical variable to ensuring an effective response and that the disease does not spread.

This additional funding announcement, in the first days of the epidemic, should send a clear message: the United States has an ironclad committed to ensuring this response is fully resourced, rapid, and cooperative between key global health and humanitarian partners. Healthcare and humanitarian workers heading to the frontline should know that the United States has their back and is urgently mobilizing all available resources to assist frontline providers and response efforts.

The United States will deliver this funding primarily via Central Emergency Response Funds (CERF) pooled funding vehicles administered by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), building upon our landmark partnership with OCHA to deliver life-saving assistance faster, more efficiently, and more accountable. Our combined reforms helped OCHA deliver a record disbursement timeline in our December 2025 funding tranche – proven speed of operations at scale that will be critical in ensuring resources reach the frontline in these critical first days of this outbreak response.

The Department of State continues to work closely with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the lead federal agency for this response, to mobilize our global resources in support of this outbreak response, while putting the protection of Americans and our great American homeland first.

United States Responds to Ebola Outbreak in Africa

Office of the Spokesperson

The Department of State is coordinating a comprehensive response to the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Uganda. By working to contain the outbreak before it reaches American shores, the United States is protecting the health of Americans at home and abroad.  

On May 15, 2026, within 24 hours of learning of the confirmed cases, the Department leveraged its outbreak response and humanitarian assistance capabilities to establish an interagency coordination cell and incident management system in Washington, D.C. Embassies in the DRC, Rwanda, South Sudan, and Uganda  have joined this group and established monitoring groups to track developments and communicate with American citizens in the region. The Department is convening a daily leadership-level meeting to ensure the response remains a top priority.  

Our first goal has been to ensure the safety of Americans abroad and the protection of the American homeland. The Department’s coordination cell worked closely to update the Department’s travel advisories to reflect circumstances on the ground and provide American citizens with travel risk information and guidance. The Department also worked closely with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) on issuing the May 18, 2026 Title 42 order prohibiting travel to the United States for foreign nationals who have visited the DRC, Uganda, and South Sudan within the last 21 days.  The Department of State is also working with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on implementing this order and any future CDC quarantine and isolation guidance world-wide. We are also working closely with CDC and the U.S. military on potential repatriation of affected Americans, based on assessed exposure and health needs.  

Within 48 hours, the Department activated a response plan and mobilized an initial $13 million in foreign assistance for immediate response efforts. This funding bolsters each country’s own response, supporting surveillance, laboratory capacity, risk communication, safe burials, entry and exit screening, and clinical case management. The Department is preparing to announce additional bilateral funding for both outbreak response and humanitarian assistance, as it continues to gain additional information on the scope of the outbreak. This additional funding builds on U.S. investments in disease surveillance and outbreak detection, and response efforts made through bilateral health MOUs signed with both the DRC and Uganda under the America First Global Health Strategy

In addition, we are leveraging the Department’s historic investment in OCHA pooled funds for the DRC and Uganda to ensure the rapid deployment of additional humanitarian assistance on the ground and close coordination with the UN system. Department leadership has spoken with UN Secretariat Leadership and local Humanitarian/Resident coordinators for affected countries. The Department is leading donor coordination efforts in regional capitals, working closely with the European Union, the United Kingdom, and other international partners to ensure a coordinated and effective response. Our May 14 announcement of $1.8 billion in additional funding for OCHA pooled funds includes $250 million in funding for the DRC and Uganda, which the Department is prioritizing for imminent funding actions to properly resource the humanitarian and outbreak response in both countries.  

American leadership remains indispensable in confronting global health threats. The United States will continue to protect American citizens, support affected communities, and marshal international action to contain this outbreak quickly, decisively, and effectively.

U.S. Department of State Announces Initiative with SC Johnson and the Global Fund to Deploy Innovative American Malaria Prevention Tool

Flag and Seal 2025

Office of the Spokesperson

Today, the U.S. Department of State announced a new initiative with SC Johnson and the Global Fund to deploy the Guardian, a first-of-its-kind American innovation designed to save lives by reducing the burden of malaria. The Department will utilize the Global Fund to support the procurement and distribution of approximately 30 million Guardian spatial repellents to protect more than 60 million people over the next three years.

Through this new initiative, the Department will:

  1. Champion First-of-its-Kind American Technology: The Department will support the procurement of the Guardian spatial repellent, a novel vector control tool and the first American product of its kind. This tool represents a breakthrough in mosquito-borne disease prevention, with field testing demonstrating a game-changing efficacy of one year, allowing it to protect families through multiple malaria seasons.
  2. Rapidly Deliver at Scale across High-Burden Countries in Partnership with the Global Fund: Building on the success of our landmark market-shaping investment together in the delivery of Gilead Sciences’ lenacapavir, the Department and the Global Fund are collaborating to deliver the Guardian spatial repellents quickly and at scale across high-burden countries. This launch will reduce cases in high malaria burden countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, while accelerating toward malaria elimination in Southeast Asia.
  3. Supporting American Innovation and Jobs: Through the Trump Administration’s America First Global Health Strategy, the Department continues to invest in supporting medical innovations that are developed and manufactured right here in the United States. This investment will support U.S. manufacturing and research jobs, helping to advance President Trump’s commitment to support products Made in America and reindustrialize our country.

Through private sector engagement and partnership, the Department is bending the curve in the fight against malaria while expanding markets for U.S. companies like SC Johnson. This approach increases the return on investment for the American taxpayer by utilizing long-lasting, high-impact tools that advance countries on their journey toward self-reliance.

Learn more about the initiative with SC Johnson and The Global Fund by reading SC Johnson’s press release and see how the Guardian protects families from malaria by watching this video.

Announcement of Targeted Visa Restrictions for Individuals Involved in Undermining Peace in South Sudan

Thomas "Tommy" Pigott, Spokesperson

The transitional government of South Sudan has, for years, impeded implementation of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan (R-ARCSS), signed during President Trump’s first term, leaving the country on the brink of a return to all-out war. Numerous well-respected investigative bodies have documented how corrupt officials and entities, including Crawford Capital, Ltd., have siphoned money from South Sudan’s treasury and stolen foreign assistance funds intended to support the South Sudanese people. The South Sudan People’s Defense Forces (SSPDF), controlled by President Salva Kiir, has conducted a military offensive in northern Jonglei State that has displaced 300,000 people and created the conditions for a potential famine in large parts of South Sudan. There have also been credible reports of human rights violations and abuses and ethnically motivated killings of the Nuer people.

Today, pursuant to authority under Section 212(a)(3)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, Secretary Rubio is taking steps to impose visa restrictions on members of South Sudan’s transitional government. These individuals have undermined peace in South Sudan, including by impeding the ceasefire agreement and engaging in corruption that has fueled the conflict.

The United States will continue to stand with the South Sudanese people, who want to live in peace and dignity. We will continue to use all tools available to expose and promote accountability for members of the transitional government, SSPDF officials, and other individuals who steal from the South Sudanese people and threaten peace.
