Trump and Musk Find Unexpected Ally in Push to Shut Down USAID

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. -unexpected-ally-in-push-to-shut-down-usaid.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Tuesday, February 4th 2025 at 18:40 GMT by Newsweek}

Trump signed an executive order imposing an unprecedented freeze on foreign assistance, effectively shutting down many of USAID's programs.

The article from Newsweek discusses how former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have found common ground in their criticism of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Trump has accused USAID of being a tool for Democrats to funnel money to their allies, while Musk has echoed these sentiments by questioning the agency's effectiveness and suggesting it might be used for political gain. This unexpected alliance comes as Trump has promised to dismantle USAID if he wins the 2024 election, a move that aligns with Musk's recent criticisms of government spending and foreign aid. The article highlights how both figures, despite their different backgrounds, share a skepticism towards what they perceive as wasteful government expenditure, particularly in foreign aid programs.
