The U.S. Agency for International Development (U.S.A.I.D.) workers returned to their offices after a significant reduction in the agency's funding due to the Trump administration's recent actions. As many as 10,000 contracts and grants have been eliminated, representing a drastic 90% cut to U.S.A.I.D.'s operations, which primarily aid poor and developing nations. Employees were given little time to collect their belongings, highlighting the shocking and abrupt nature of these changes. Senate Democrats denounced these cuts, asserting that they undermine decades of investment in foreign aid that promote U.S. interests and global stability.
Workers for the U.S. Agency for International Development returned to their offices just days after learning about the Trump administration's drastic cuts to the agency's funding.
The Trump administration's review of foreign aid programs led to the cancellation of nearly 10,000 contracts, effectively dismantling U.S.A.I.D.'s capabilities and operations.
Senate Democrats criticized the foreign aid review as a mere pretext to eliminate decades of U.S. investments that contribute to global stability and security.
The joyful work of U.S.A.I.D. — delivering food, medicine, and promoting democracy globally — is diminished by recent executive actions targeting its funding and operations.
