US President Donald Trump has pushed for the total shut down of the United States agency for international development (USAID) in an escalation of his already unprecedented campaign to dismantle the massive government aid agency.
Trump in a trademark all-caps statement on his truth social app, wrote “the corruption is at levels rarely seen before. Close it down!”
Trump, who began his second term last month, has launched a crusade led by his top donor and the world’s richest man elon musk to downsize or dismantle swaths of the US government, with the most concentrated fire landing on the USAID, the primary organization for distributing US humanitarian aid around the world.
Recall that recently the Trump administration, ordered thousands of foreign-based staff to return to the United States and frozen foreign aid.
