Why is Trump pulling the plug on USAID? | Inside Story
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- President Donald Trump’s administration is dismantling the US Agency for International Development - or USAID. For decades it’s been the world’s premier humanitarian agency, distributing life-saving medications, combating the spread of disease, and providing disaster relief in conflict zones.
Thousands of employees have been placed on leave and aid recipients in more than 130 countries have been left in limbo. Spearheading federal budget cuts is billionaire Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency. But who will fill the void? And what does it mean for global US influence?
Presenter: Elizabeth Puranam
Guests:
Hardin Lang, vice president for programs and policy at Refugees International.
Natasha Lindstaedt, US foreign policy specialist and a professor of government at the University of Essex.
Alan Boswell, International Crisis Group's project director for the Horn of Africa.

The United States is $36 trillion in debt. People need to start donating to the United States. They need aid.
How many billions spent on.war Ukraine and Israel.
Ya and 6 trillion of that was in Trump's first term, wait to see where it's at in 4 years.
Trump increase the debt by 8 trillion dollars in his first term !! What an amazing business man he is. You’ll never hear that on Fox and other republican side media
Trump realised Americans need to feed first !!!
America throws away 30% of their food.
@@kidd7359 Get rid of GMO and/or processed food. Americans deserve REAL food.
@@kidd7359exactly, less money to give to charity. However the main point is that the money is not all making it to its intended causes. Money is disappearing along the way due to corruption. Corruption is what causes most of these other countries plight, that is not americas fault even though we empathize. Feel free to legally immigrate here and become a citizen though it’s great!
America is in the 10 countries with the highest % of obesity in the world. They are not hungry. They need a change. They are not happy with the system, but im not sure they made the right choice this time!
@ it’s been 2 weeks, everything is being changed as we speak, time to see what happens
Because we’re not giving money to countries that treat the US badly anymore 😤
The money laundering has stopped. Elon is doing a great job. Taxpayers wanted this. And voted for this.🇨🇦🇺🇸
Who has ever thanked U S A. for this generosity?
NOONE, they bash us. They literally bite the hand that feeds them, snd keeps them alive. NO MORE! Let’s fix the US first
@@conquerorvictor5072 South Korean do
Half a million homeless people in America, sixtey percent of Americans,one paycheck away from poverty. All these countries that despise America and the West. Cut the waste,a lot of these countries are spending all their money on weapons. Help America.
The Dollar is nothing but a piece of paper, get this sink in, the Government prints that paper costs it nothing and it's backed by nothing, All those countries you mention are stupid and they have been taken for a long ride by the US, the US print that paper and export it in exchange of the goods those countries produce and the minerals they have, because the dollar is the reserve currency those countries to buy oil they have to use the dollar, do you see the scam? what do those countries do with the access dollars they have? They buy US debt in the form of bonds to get more printed dollars in interest, so the US get all the goods and the suckers get toilet paper called dollars. do you see the scam? this is why the BRICS want to de-dollarise.
He is pulling the plug on a lot of wasteful spending, even at home where he is laying off US government employees by the tens of thousands. Other rich countries like Qatar can share their wealth too
It’s Time for AIPAC To Register as a Foreign Agent

To Al Jazeera: We Americans don't care about people getting their medicine overseas when I was just told that a required medical test I need would cost me app. $1,100 after insurance.
Trump is a true Patriot🇺🇸❤🇮🇱❤🇮🇳
He is egoistic and narcissistic, who doesn't care for anyone but himself.
Such a patriot! He's a draft dodger
Indeed!!
Trump and the whole US should be ashamed of themselves. - The US is no longer a democracy.
- It is a rogue state.
why another country upset , why don;t they step up
because they suddenly have a huge hole in their own budgets, usa funded everyone! xD
USAID spend very little on life saving most money is used to pay hefty salaries
Our President did the right thing....why do we have to pay for the entire world from our hard earn tax money....GO Trump GO
You all took it for granted, now it’s gone. Tough luck. 😢
TRUMP THE GREAT 👑
American taxpayers are tired of getting the bill while we're being told we don't have the funds for the things we need.
Have any tax cuts or programs for US citizens been announced for spending the money that is set free from USAID? It is deafening silence on actions in that direction.
I don’t think people realise that the US doesn’t give money benevolently. It comes with all sorts of strings attached. With this move the US is isolating itself, over a sum that represents nothing in its budget.
The answer is simple, Trump asks, what’s in it for me?
Trump’s reward will be known forever as America’s greatest president.
Listen to your broadcast.
Kennedy signed an executive order therefore not a congress mandate and Trump can CANCEL.
Qatar ll fund from now😂😂😂
Our own people are dying homeless in the streets of our cities. Everyone protects their children before someone else’s, stop acting like this is some extreme evil 😂
@ first let’s cut the spending and trying not to have the crooks steal it is something that comes next. You are suggesting just let it be, which is a weak mindset i don’t comprehend
remember he is reconstructing gaza
Just as the clock ticked for Sinwar, it still ticks. Guess for who? That's right. For Israel has spoken.
The walls are closing in. Can you feel it? You can definitely see it. Keep watching. You were told. For Israel has spoken.
well, I don't think Elon listens to Israel.
@@Jack-y3m6q Who Elon listens to matters not. You know how this ends, everyone knows. Remember, you were told. For Israel has spoken.
Russia is getting a little tired of NATO, and it's expansion eastwards.. Keep watching.. 😠
@@AnthonyD-yy2in More loud feckless pronouncements and fairytales. Sit down. Russia has their own concerns.
Congress will only step up for the one doing the bidding of the one on the throne, Netanyahu.
USA has over US$ 36 trillions debt, let those countries with no debts and with big economies chip in. USA has to settle its house first mostly the US citizens need help
Cause that money belongs to Americans, White working class to be specific…
America is so poor these days.
Trump has ruined everything
That was waist of money!! USA first!!!
America's not responsible for other countries problems, if anybody has a problem with it like the people that are on the television then they can pay for it
This is why I don't watch Al Jazeera
Well within his rights, but what will be the cost? At this rate by the time he is done American's soft power will be nonexistent.
All of the positive sides of the story are printed at the bottom of the screen in transparent fonts
Good job. Black money is stopped.
Though a shock & uncomfortable however this will prove the resilience of people & those who rested on their laurels will be compelled to stand up & lead
The Great... The Best... The Most... Trump....
Post the spendings list.
Under what legal authority? Where is congress?
The US Treasury is subject to The Executive Branch of the USA, not Congress.
Aids are part of diplomacy. You can't be collecting and displaying contempt and unappreciative of such inflow to your economy.
Will be restored on individual cases given their response to the reason for the withdrawal.
Qatar... how about you foot the bill for a bit since you like putting your hands in so many cookie jars and doing your best to dismantle peace with this channel.
Time for China to cash in..
trumps doing great jobs that's why we give votes to trump
Golf states can fill in, surely.
Atleast until Trump turns them into a golf coarse........it's called Gulf States but golf is appropriate.
@dougtheslug6435 he will call it mar al lago, it will be the greatest.
You should talk about US domestic violence first.
@ what? why? you good?
Trump❤❤
It is of no use to demonstrate before the throne of satan. He only smirks like his servant, Netanyanu.
Draft Dodger Donald, a patriot?
😂😂😂
Why do the USA or Europe always have to step up , why not the middle east , why not china , why bricks countries? Why not Qatar ?
China could’ve been done that lmao. I like that we send aid but that’s such a stupid talking point.
Aljazeera pls mention amoung USAID is also sponsoring LGBT, funding bodies declared as torrorists by AMERICAN GOVERNMENT. Pls Aljazeera a little objectivity is good for news & d image of d news organisation❤. Uche
BRICS vs NATO. . .let's do this

yeah you better start begging, the usa wont give you free food anymore.
should have thanked them more.
I'm so sorry. Our Republican party is extremely extremely greedy and aren't doing anything to help our country either
The work that USAID has been doing needs to be given to WHO. American is not perfect BUT and does need to take care of its own citizens who are without homes, drug addicted and falling behind in educational endeavors. If Berkina Faso can pay off its debts, and steadly become self-sufficient, then others can do it to.
Let’s see how that money is used then shall we?
why AL Jazeera is so upset , why Qatar step in and help the world, it is so rich country on earth. All the time Qatar own channel Al Zazeera criticizing everything is America Fault. Then Qatar take ownership help the world and get great name on the earth / Globe
Have mercy on us may God have mercy on you appeal only out of hunger and poverty, O scholar, be well in our skin. 😭😢😭😢😢I asked you, by God, to save us before we die of extreme hunger. I asked you to enter. on God. On you, I am facing you, I am your sister, I beg you, I beg you, save us for the love of GodGod is my witness, my brother, that from morning until now we are forbidden to ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' I swear to God on the book of God that I will not lie to you, nor set you up, nor cheat you. I am a Yemeni girl from Yemen, displaced from my family and I. Between us is a house of 20 thousand Yemeni riyals, and now we owe 60 thousand for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of those people who do not have mercy. By God, my brother, he comes every day and humiliates us and talks about us and wants us to go out to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and they went back to talk to the neighbors and we have not paid him until the end of the week. I swear to God, this will put us out to the street. May God have mercy on us. Our country is suffering because of this war and we cannot find our daily sustenance and we live, my mother and my brothers are traveling, our father passed away, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world to be with us in these harsh circumstances. My little brothers went out to the street and saw the neighbors eating and stopped at their door to give them even a piece of bread. By God, who owns the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and threw them out and they came back crying, dying of hunger. No one had mercy on them and the holiday was returned so I could live. Now, if one of us does not help us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God that we will die of hunger. Oh brother, I seek refuge in God and then in you and I want your help for the sake of God. I ask you by God, do you love good and help me even with 60,, thousand Yemeni riyals for renting the house, or as much as you can afford.? Send me a WhatsApp message on this number +967-717354582 and ask for my card name and send it and do not delay and God will compensate you with all good. My little brothers, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out into the street. You will be humiliated or die of hunger. My family and I ask you by God, if you are able to help us, do not delay in helping us. May God reward you.°÷π÷π÷÷π`π^~_~÷`÷`π÷~_π`÷~ππ°~÷~π~π~÷~π~ππ~π.......،.، ......،.،..،.،..،.،.،..،.،..،.،.،.،..............,.,..,.,.,.,..,.,.,|💔💔|💔||💔|💔|💔..,..،.،.،.،.،..،..,..,.,,.,.,..,.,.,..,.,.,.,........................,.,.,..,......،..،..............،......,.,...،،,.,,🎉🎉😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
