David Koranyi argues that Trump's freeze on nearly $72 billion in foreign aid signals a troubling retreat from U.S. global leadership and democratic ideals. Established programs like USAID have historically defended freedoms, countered corruption, and addressed human rights violations. With this pause in funding, adversaries including Russia, China, and Iran may exploit the resultant power vacuum, further undermining international stability. Koranyi warns that such cuts not only threaten the welfare of those dependent on U.S. support but could also endanger U.S. national security and economic prosperity in the long run.
President Trump's decision to abruptly freeze nearly $72 billion in U.S. foreign aid marks a dangerous retreat from America's defense of freedom around the world.
The sudden funding freeze creates a power vacuum that enemies—including China, Russia, and Iran—will step in to fill.
