France 24 posted on 23 April 2025 an 11-minute interview titled "Trump's Foreign Aid Cuts Are a 'Slow-running Disaster', Former USAID Administrator Says" with J. Brian Atwood.
Atwood discusses the downsides of dismantling the US Agency for International Development. As more people suffer in the Global South due to cuts in foreign aid by the United States and other donors, there will be additional pressure to migrate to developed countries. There will be increased challenges in combatting global health threats such as Ebola, putting everyone at risk. While countries like China will take propaganda advantage of the slashing of US foreign aid, they are not in a position to fill the gap.
