Evangelical leaders are expressing their opposition to President Trump's proposed cuts to foreign aid, particularly targeting the US Agency for International Development. At a recent National Prayer Breakfast, faith leaders articulated that while some foreign aid programs may need reform, abrupt cuts could lead to waste and loss of resources. Galen Carey from the National Association of Evangelicals emphasized the importance of evaluating programs without dismantling effective ones that are saving lives. He warned that hasty measures could result in lost commodities and wasted funds.
"Let's bring God back into our lives," President Donald Trump said Thursday morning.
"We affirm that there are aspects of our foreign aid programs that should be ended and others that could be reformed for greater effectiveness," Galen Carey said.
"Commodities will be lost and food will rot, medicines expire. Other supplies may be stolen or misappropriated..." Carey warned.
"We caution against hastily pursued measures that will prove costly." Galen Carey highlighted the potential downsides of abrupt cuts.
