In a CNN interview, Samantha Power condemned the Trump administration and Elon Musk for spreading misinformation about USAID, the agency she previously led. She revealed that the administration plans to reduce USAID staff from 10,000 to approximately 290, threatening essential programs that provide lifesaving resources to vulnerable populations worldwide. Power highlighted that such cuts not only hinder humanitarian efforts but also empower rival nations like China and Russia at a critical juncture in global geopolitics. The situation, she argued, is disastrous for U.S. foreign policy and international support initiatives.
These are staff who are overseeing programs that are saving lives or were saving lives until a few weeks ago.
This is devastating and it is ceding the field as well to the People's Republic of China, to the Russian Federation.
