YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Trump administration is proposing a significant reduction in the budgets for the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) by nearly half for fiscal year 2026, with an allocation of $28.4 billion, down from $54.4 billion. The proposal includes absorbing USAID into the State Department and slashing funding for humanitarian aid and global health by over 50%. Additionally, it plans to cut nearly 90% of funding for international organizations, affecting NATO and the UN, and could lead to the closure of up to 30 U.S. diplomatic missions, primarily in Africa and Europe.
