The Trump administration plans to eliminate nearly 15,000 grants worth $60 billion from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), representing about 90% of foreign aid contracts. This decision follows a review by the State Department and aligns with Trump's long-standing criticism of overseas spending.
