The Trump administration has recently made impactful changes to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), including the suspension of billions of dollars in humanitarian aid and the laying off of thousands of contractors. This has caused substantial concern among humanitarian organizations about the viability of essential assistance programs, particularly those aimed at malnourished infants. Established by Kennedy in 1961 amid the Cold War, USAID has been a battleground for political contention regarding its funding and purpose, recently embroiled in debates over foreign influence and program efficiency.
President Trump’s administration has enacted major changes to USAID, halting billions in humanitarian assistance, which has raised concerns among aid organizations about the future of vital programs.
