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

CNN  

CNN — Five former leaders of the US Agency for International Development from across Republican and Democratic administrations have spoken out against the Trump administration’s attempts to dismantle the humanitarian agency and called on Congress “to swiftly protect the Agency’s statutory role.” In a Wednesday statement obtained first by CNN, the five former administrators said that to “weaken and even destroy the Agency is to the benefit of neither political party and the detriment of all Americans.” They defended the USAID workforce, which has come under vicious rhetorical attack by President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. “While we don’t agree on all issues, we wholeheartedly agree that USAID and America’s foreign assistance programs are vital to our interests, that the career men and women of USAID have served each of us well, and that it is the duty of the Administration and Congress to swiftly protect the Agency’s statutory role,” wrote Samantha Power, Gayle Smith, Andrew Natsios, J. Brian Atwood and Peter McPherson. “USAID may move, reorganize, and integrate certain missions, bureaus, and offices into the Department of State, and the remainder of the Agency may be abolished consistent with applicable law,” he told lawmakers earlier this week. Later that night, the agency informed its workforce that “all USAID direct hire personnel,” with a few exceptions, “will be placed on administrative leave globally” on Friday at 11:59pm.
