The Trump administration plans to cut over 90% of USAID's foreign aid contracts, amounting to $60 billion in overall assistance, significantly reducing U.S. development and humanitarian efforts abroad. This move follows a federal court order and has sparked protests from nonprofits and lawmakers.
The administration aims to eliminate thousands of aid programs, citing waste and the need to prioritize American interests. The Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a lower court's order to release foreign aid funds, leaving many organizations awaiting payments amid ongoing legal battles.
