YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSky's Tom Cheshire explains the purpose of USAID and its impact across the globe.
USAID aims to assist countries recovering from disaster and contributes a significant proportion of the world's aid budget.
However, US president Donald Trump has signed an executive order freezing foreign aid for a 90-day period.
The policy puts at risk programmes that support field hospitals in Thai refugee camps, landmine clearance in war zones, and drugs to treat millions suffering from diseases such as HIV.
