Dismantling of USAID a tragic misstep

To: Rep. Finstad, Pres. Trump, Sen. Smith, Sen. Klobuchar

From: A verified voter in Rochester, MN

February 6, 2025

The dismantling of USAID is a misstep that undercuts America's global influence and security interests. As a soft power tool, USAID fosters cooperation with nations vital to U.S. trade and access to critical resources. Its global health monitoring provides early alerts on emerging epidemics and pandemics. By promoting development and stability, USAID bolsters American leadership worldwide at a fraction of military costs. This abrupt move jeopardizes decades of cultivating partnerships and risks ceding ground to rivals like China. I urge reconsideration of this reckless policy that diminishes U.S. power and tarnishes our global standing as a force for good.
