Trump and Musk cancel development and humanitarian aid
Donald Trump, the President of the United States, announced that the senior managers of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) will be dismissed from their positions. He stated that this organization has so far been run by a bunch of radical lunatics, and we will fire them and then decide on the future.
Donald Trump had previously halted most development-related aid, as reported by several American media outlets. Hundreds of employees of this organization have been laid off or sent on mandatory leave, and dozens of senior managers have been immediately dismissed.
The new government is considering dissolving the entity known as the United States Agency for International Development, which has so far been an independent organization with a key role in international cooperation for development. The official website of this entity has also suddenly gone offline, and its official account on the social network X has been deactivated.
The United States Agency for International Development has an annual budget of about 43 billion dollars and is responsible for implementing development and humanitarian aid worldwide.
