The Trump administration's decision to terminate over 90% of USAID's foreign aid contracts and $60 billion in overall U.S. assistance is deeply concerning. Foreign aid programs play a vital role in promoting global stability, building strategic partnerships, and advancing American interests abroad. These drastic cuts threaten to undermine decades of progress in areas like global health, food security, and counterterrorism efforts. I urge you to use your authority to reverse course on these misguided policies. Abruptly eliminating thousands of development and humanitarian projects without proper review is reckless and will have severe consequences for millions around the world who rely on U.S. aid. It also jeopardizes America's standing as a global leader. Foreign assistance is a crucial investment in creating a more secure and prosperous world. I implore you to restore USAID's programs and funding to ensure the U.S. can continue projecting its influence through strategic development cooperation. Short-sighted cuts now will only lead to greater costs down the line as we are forced to address instability and crises exacerbated by a lack of aid.
