In a surprising move, the Trump administration has decided to slash 90% of USAID's foreign aid contracts, sparking outrage among health groups and non-governmental organizations. This decision, following a 90-day spending review announced by President Donald Trump, will have far-reaching consequences on humanitarian programs worldwide.
InterAction, a coalition of NGOs in the United States, warned that the funding cuts would lead to dire consequences such as hunger, disease, and other life-threatening situations for millions of people. The termination of some $60 billion in overall aid and assistance by the Trump administration is expected to impact around 10,000 USAID contracts with NGOs and other organizations, effectively crippling American foreign assistance.
