The article on MSN, written by a former USAID worker, discusses the significant budget cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) under the Trump administration, which were further exacerbated by the economic impacts of the global health crisis. The author, who lost their job due to these cuts, explains that these reductions have severely limited USAID's capacity to respond to global challenges like poverty, health crises, and climate change. The narrative highlights how these cuts, often justified by claims of inefficiency or corruption, overlook the critical role USAID plays in promoting U.S. foreign policy interests, stabilizing regions, and preventing conflicts. The article also critiques the lack of understanding from figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk about the long-term benefits of foreign aid, emphasizing that such aid not only helps those in need but also supports American economic and security interests by fostering global stability and development.
