The drastic cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) under former President Trump's administration have significantly undermined America's global influence. With an intention to focus resources domestically, the administration has slashed funding and personnel, drastically reducing USAID jobs and contracts. This shift has led to a cessation of vital aid in impoverished regions, critically affecting basic supplies and services. Meanwhile, bipartisan support for foreign aid, once championed by leaders like Ronald Reagan and Marco Rubio, is increasingly negated, risking a power vacuum in international relations that adversaries like China and Russia could exploit.
Trump and Elon Musk's rapid dismemberment of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has stunned diplomats and NGOs around the globe.
Trump is gutting key aspects of America's global influence and the workforce that promotes it - leaving a vacuum that U.S. adversaries are eager to fill.
