MSNBC, CNN, ABC, BBC, NPR and More: Jeremy Konyndyk on USAID Upheaval
In a deeply unconstitutional move, the Trump administration is giving Elon Musk free rein to destroy an essential tool of U.S. leadership in the world: the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
For decades USAID has served as a critical bridge between the U.S. public and the rest of the world. It saves lives day in, day out – fighting famine in Sudan, providing emergency health care in Gaza, sheltering the displaced, and battling outbreaks and disease. Shutting down USAID will be devastating for millions of people—particularly refugees and displaced people—around the world.
Refugees International has been the go-to voice on this.
