Trump's foreign aid cuts are a 'slow-running disaster', former USAID administrator says
In an interview with FRANCE 24, J. Brian Atwood, who was head of USAID under Bill Clinton, warned that US President Donald Trump's deep foreign aid cuts are a "slow-running disaster" that would severely impact global health, food security and migration. "Many, many people are going to suffer," he said, adding that "there'll be a lot more migration". Atwood said the Trump administration had a "transactional" and "narrow-minded" worldview that abandons long-term peace and prosperity in favour of short-term return for the US taxpayer.
