Demented Donnie’s USAID Cuts Threaten U.S. Farmers

President Donald Trump may have thought that defunding the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) would only hurt foreigners -- but it turns out he could actually be mistaken. The Washington Post reports that putting shuttering the agency entirely "threatens billions of dollars the agency spends on American businesses and organizations." In particular, the Post report notes that American farms are responsible for roughly 41 percent of all food aid provided by the agency and it adds that the U.S. government bought $2.1 billion in food aid from American farmers in the year 2020 alone.
