The United States plans to significantly cut its foreign aid budget, particularly affecting sub-Saharan Africa, which has historically received substantial support. The cuts are primarily a result of President Trump's decision to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development, despite this region's importance in global health and development initiatives. Aid to Africa has decreased notably in the past two years, coinciding with U.S. assistance to Ukraine. The reductions are predicted to reverse years of development progress, risking lives and human rights in a region that continues to face immense challenges.
The United States is cutting almost all its foreign aid spending, particularly affecting sub-Saharan Africa, where decades of progress in aid and development are at risk.
Trump's administration justified the cuts by alleging waste and fraud within the U.S. Agency for International Development, which is being dismantled.
