When Donald Trump and Elon Musk were decimating the United States Agency for International Development, they assured the American public that the agency was riddled with bureaucracy and that any aid it managed to distribute was ultimately slowed down by corruption and misplaced priorities. Since then, however, the Trump administration has been wasting millions through the winding down of the agency.
Just recently, a report revealed that the Trump administration was scheduled to burn food that had been stored for people in need of aid in the Middle East due to the State Department dragging its feet with distribution. Now, it has been revealed that a similar situation is unfolding with contraceptives purchased by USAID, at a cost to American taxpayers estimated at $9.7 million, and Belgium is working overtime to prevent that waste.
