  • Indeed, Trump's appointees simply declared that they were ending USAID as an independent agency, and moving a much-reduced version of it to the State Department. Most of USAID's staff was fired or placed on leave, while programs to send life-saving food or medicine abroad were put in limbo.

The article from Vox discusses the potential policy directions Donald Trump might take if he were to win a second term as President. It highlights Trump's past and potential future policies, focusing on his approach to Ukraine, where he has suggested he could end the war in 24 hours, likely by pressuring Ukraine to make concessions to Russia. On domestic issues, Trump has expressed intentions to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, which he views as discriminatory. He has also targeted the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) for cuts, criticizing it as wasteful. Furthermore, Trump's second term could see a significant rollback of regulations, a continuation of his tax cuts, and a more aggressive stance on immigration, including mass deportations and ending birthright citizenship. The article also notes Trump's plans to potentially replace many federal employees with loyalists, aiming to reshape the bureaucracy in his image.
