Trump's USAID cuts harm U.S. credibility globally

newsweek.com

Former officials from both parties argue in a new court filing that President Trump's cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) have harmed America's global credibility and strengthened adversaries like China and Russia. The filing highlights concerns that halting foreign aid has created gaps that other nations can exploit. It cites the potential negative impacts on U.S. national security and international partnerships. A federal judge recently ruled that Trump unlawfully froze $2 billion in USAID contracts, ordering the administration to release the funds. This decision follows a Supreme Court ruling that rejected Trump's request to maintain the funding freeze.
