If you listen to Democrats these days, you’ll hear lament about the deep cuts the Trump administration has made to the US Agency for International Development (USAID). They insist that life is lost.
But strangely outside the US, this massive change in the way America funds various projects around the world, and even some support for changes from the unlikely quarter. There was a deafening silence.
I’ll take Paul Kagame, president of Rwandan I was shocked by the CNN interviewer This week, regarding the cuts to USAID, “President Trump has an unconventional way of dealing with things. I fully agree with him,” he said, pushing the support that people in his country could lose. , he replied, “I might learn a few lessons.”
How USAID woke up and destroyed itself
What Kagame is making is wise: Africa is more self-sufficient and not a permanently poor client state of global forces, including the US. While USAID and the State Department emit most of the approximately $70 billion of annual foreign aid from the United States, many of the USAID funds may be in a variety of cases and may not alliances with the recipient’s government. Pass directly to groups and projects.
In Hungary, President Victor Orban is one step further than praise Trump’s USAID actions. His country makes it illegal for many insurgents to accept foreign aid from our country.
What began as an opportunity to spread the fundamental ideals of freedom and democracy has been transformed into anti-democratic attempts that influence political changes in other countries adjacent to imperialism.
“It’s the moment when we have to defeat these international networks, and they have to be wiped out,” Orban said this week that the US foreign aid fund is being used in an attempt to “fall” his government. He insisted.
Orban has its points. For example, by funding Hungarian press, exporting the American value of the free press, between interfering with Hungarian elections, particularly when the press is essentially the mouthpiece of the opposition. has a delicate boundary.

Salvador’s President Naive Bukere supported Orban’s assessment in the X-Post, which wrote that most countries did not want assistance. “Although it is sold as support for development, democracy and human rights, a large portion of this fund is poured into opposition groups, NGOs with political agendas, and volatile movements.”
Foreign aid in the United States serves two basic purposes. The first is economical. We buy some loyalty from large countries and from developing countries with ultimate access to their markets.
The second is information provision. They get the megaphone and try to create countries like America and China.
USAID is an independent body founded by President John F. Kennedy, but President Trump moved to place it under Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Rubio proposes deep reductions in personnel, but has assured Americans that important, life-saving financial aid in line with American interests will be protected by his department. And few people argue that we should simply close clinics or stop sending mosquito nets to Africa.
Even Kagame believes his continent is being separated from the need for foreign aid, rather than becoming a cold turkey.
No, the real problem is for information purposes of foreign aid. What began as an opportunity to spread the fundamental ideals of freedom and democracy has been transformed into anti-democratic attempts that influence political changes in other countries adjacent to imperialism.
Furthermore, the secondary orders associated with American foreign aid in regions such as gender and sexuality are not only unwelcome in many third world countries, but are actually directed towards greater tolerance for the natural evolution of society. You can delay it.

At this time, it is difficult to understand exactly what changes have been made to foreign aid. Beyond the dramatic removal of agency names in buildings and announced layoffs, it is not clear what aid we maintain and what we are disposing of.
Ultimately, it was Rubio who was in charge of foreign aid and the future of USAID. It is his responsibility to separate wheat from the chaff, a program that saves lives and advances American interests compared to those driven by partisan ideology.

What’s unacceptable to Americans is that for many global leaders, foreign aid continues to exist. Trump was chosen to make concrete changes to how we influence the world and how we interact with it.
Trump and Rubio have and deserve this opportunity to dramatically change and fix aspects of foreign policy that have been broken for decades.
This is a new era of foreign aid in America, and is far more successful.
