Why is the Trump administration targeting USAID?

NPR  

Why is the Trump administration targeting USAID? U.S. foreign aid organizations "are not aligned with American interests and in many cases antithetical to American values," Trump wrote in the executive order halting nearly all foreign assistance for 90 days. Sponsor Message Susan Reichle, a former senior USAID career officer who worked at the agency under five presidents, says that this targeting of the agency parallels the first Trump administration: "There was a small group that all of a sudden were attacking USAID's work on gender, for example, and democracy and human rights." "We should be concerned that this is an effort by the Trump administration to unilaterally remake the federal government without congressional authorization," says Tess Bridgeman, former White House counsel under President Obama, told NPR. Richard Grenell, acting director of National Intelligence under Trump and an envoy in the new Trump administration, alleged in a post on X on Feb. 2 that Samantha Power, who headed the agency under Biden, used USAID money to "fund crazy radical programs and far Left activists," offering no evidence for the claim.
