WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump on Friday called for the closure of USAID, which increased his unprecedented pressure to end the humanitarian agency.

In a post on his true social app, he claimed that the agency was deeply corrupt, writing, “Corruption is rarely seen first. Stop it!”

The move has given rise to chaos in the agency’s global network and raised concerns over the end of US influence at the international stage.

In three weeks, when he began his new term, Trump has launched a crusade of the US government’s top donor and the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, to the US government’s system. Reduce or eliminate them.

The most concentrated fire has been on the United States Agency for international development, which distributes US humanitarian aid globally.

On Friday, Musk – who, along with Trump, has explicitly spread misinformation about USAID financial affairs – he posted photos on social media at the agency’s gesture from Washington’s headquarters.

The Trump administration has already frozen foreign aid and ordered thousands of foreign residents to return to the United States, which has had a permanent growing impact on the earth.

On Thursday, a union official confirmed that a USAID head account consisting of 10,000 employees would be reduced to only 300.

Labor unions are challenging the legal status of the attack, including a separate government offer to buy by the Musk team.

Democrats in the Congress say it will be unconstitutional for Trump – which has also shown his intention to shut down the education department – shutting down government agencies without the green light of the legislature.

Kind strength

The current budget of the United States allocates about $ 70 billion for international aid.

However, while Washington is the world’s largest aid donor, the total cost of the US government in the last quarter century is between only 0.7 and 1.4 percent.

USAID runs health and emergency programs in about 120 countries, including the poorest regions in the world.

It is seen as an important source of soft power for the United States in its struggle for influence with rivals, including China.

Former President Joe Biden’s USAID chief Samantha Power called the agency a “superpower of the United States” in a surprising manner in the New York Times’ opinion on Friday.

“We are witnessing the worst worst in the worst and expensive foreign policy in American history,” said Power.

Until it is eliminated, the power wrote, “future generations will be surprised that these were not China’s actions that eliminated us and ended global security” but “an American president and a billionaire he said. First prepared to shoot and later made it aim. “

Strict right Republicans and Liberian have long questioned the need for USAID and criticized them, which they say is waste abroad.

Since the return of Trump, these criticisms have been super -charged, the administration has made USAID employees a devil – without any evidence – the relief agency has been fraudulent.

Periodic Social Posts

Kasturi and its so -called department government’s performance, or the Dodge, has been or has been ignored by many Americans for decades by agencies.

Although the Democrats have struggled to find steps to stop the steps, the judicial challenges are slowly taking shape.

The judge has stopped an attempt by Trump to abolish the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship, and another judge on Thursday stopped the federal workers’ purchase program under pending arguments on Monday.

Born in Space X and Tesla in South Africa, Musk, a CEO, last week with reports that he and his team were gaining access to the department’s sensitive data and system.

The US media reports, “The Dodge team’s access to the Federal Payment Systems” internal review of the Treasury has described the Bureau of Financial Services as the largest internal threat to the same. “

In addition to adding the drama, a member of the Dodge team resigned after coming to the fore that he had advocated racism and Ujjinx on social media.

On Friday, after the support of a 25 -year -old child who was fired from Trump, Musk said he would restore the staff.

According to posts before the Wall Street Journal, the staff only said last year that they were “racists before cooling.”

Vice President JD Venus weighed on Friday, saying that “stupid social media activity should spoil a child’s life, criticizing the reporter for trying to destroy people”.

“So I say bring it back.”
