Restart USAID immediately. It is the best use of American soft power to counteract Chinese influence in other countries. It supports activities that keep Americans safer, eg HIV treatment. Like aid to Ukraine, most of that money comes back to us businesses. I’m the case of USAID it supports farmers who are going to be harmed by tariffs on China and others. “USAID oversees projects such as food aid, disaster relief and health programs in over 100 countries with a staff of more than 10,000 and a budget of around $40 billion. Billions of those dollars flowed back into the American economy until President Donald Trump ordered a 90-day freeze on foreign-aid spending last month.” (WashPo)
Dismantling USAID makes America weaker and harms American Farmers and businesses. You must assert your congressional authority as the branch that directs where money is spent by defending USAID!
