First on CNN: Republican and Democratic former USAID leaders speak out against Trump's attempts to dismantle agency

Five former leaders of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) from across Republican and Democratic administrations spoke out against the Trump administration's attempts to dismantle the humanitarian agency.
The article from CNN discusses a letter sent by over 100 former USAID leaders and ambassadors to former President Donald Trump, urging him to reconsider his stance on foreign aid. They argue that cutting foreign aid, as Trump has previously suggested, would undermine U.S. national security, economic interests, and global influence. The letter highlights the strategic importance of foreign assistance in promoting stability, countering adversaries like China and Russia, and fostering economic development in regions critical to American interests. It also points out that foreign aid represents a small fraction of the federal budget but yields significant returns in terms of security and economic benefits. The signatories, including former USAID administrators and ambassadors, emphasize that such cuts would be detrimental at a time when global challenges require robust U.S. engagement.
