Trump's clear cut: USAID employee in shock-what's coming now?

The future of the US Agency for International Development, USAID, is anything but rosy. On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump released the independent general inspector of the authority, Martin, with immediate effect, which is considered part of his rigorous savings program. According to the Kleine Zeitung , Martin was only informed by email about his release. His office had recently published a critical report that had described the effects of Trump's reduction measures on humanitarian aid. According to the report, the far -reaching savings and personnel reductions have led to the fact that USAIS is no longer able to provide essential food deliveries worth more than $ 489 million in good time.

Trump himself expressed that the authority was led by a "bunch of radical crazy" and announced that she wanted to close it completely. In accordance with Berliner Zeitung was informed to the USAID employees in Washington. These drastic changes have the consequence that around 2,000 employees in the United States and abroad were on leave before a federal judge temporarily stopped this measure. Foreign Minister Marco Rubio has taken over the supervision of the USA, while questions about the future strategy of the authority have so far remained unanswered.

The continuing layoffs and structural changes under the direction of Musk, which as a Trump confidant drives the restructuring, could have sustainable effects on the international development work of the United States. Trump's racy clearing for foreign aid has already led to massive disorders in the agency's humanitarian programs. This could not only endanger humanitarian aid for needy countries, but also question the credibility and effectiveness of the United States at an international level.
