GENEVA – The abrupt suspension of United States of America’s foreign aid has fuelled a global humanitarian catastrophe – made worse by the administration’s failure to publish a review it committed to undertake of USAID contracts and disbursements, UN human rights experts* said today.

t was January, my final week in the outgoing Administration. In a few days, Donald Trump would be inaugurated as President. I had come to the United States Agency for International Development in early 2022, leaving my surgery practice and public-health research in Boston to lead the agency’s global-health efforts.

=====USAID Cuts Weaken U.S. Influence at the United Nations=====

[https://www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpreter/us-aid-cuts-are-soft-power-surrender-china by theinterpreter]

China is widely assumed to be the biggest beneficiary, although the full extent of the impact remains unquantified. A back-of-the-envelope calculation, however, offers some insight into the upheaval underway.
