Trump orders USAID to be put under the U.S. Department of State (DOS) amidst foreign aid freeze; 10,000 agreements terminated, thousands fired

[Mike809]

You almost had it.

We’ve already seen how Trump will use it. He blackmailed Ukraine for dirt on Biden in exchange for military aid. So now he has humanitarian aid he can blackmail for access to enrich his friends or himself.

Considering how many resource rich countries USAid is in, he can “Greenland” himself into more.

Like I've stated , I didn't know much about USAid until like 24 hours ago . Maybe I'm reading the wrong stuff , but do you know if it has it ever been use to undermine foreign governments that don't adhere to certain American interests ? Prior to Trump.

Either by rejecting aid to countries that don't vote a certain way , or even using it to promote think-tanks that go against certain governments ? Like we all know the U.S doesn't have the best track record when it comes to the treatment of foreign countries , if it affects American interests.

I'm just here to learn

I’m not an expert either and wasn’t saying you are wrong.

Hilary Clinton as Secretary of State pushed Obama to overthrow Gadafhi in Libya.

Regime change is an executive policy executed by various agencies. USAid isn’t some Mission Impossible Force doing whatever it wants. Moving it under SoS does nothing except give Trump oversight since it wasn’t under his direct oversight and now we have no independent inspector generals.

I just saw 1200 Afghan children will die a day or a month if the US cuts aid... the chyron was moving too fast and I saw on here Trump mocked an Afghan reporter in another thread when I'm assuming she was asking him about this...

Interesting.

During the manhunt for Osama bin Laden, the CIAran a covert operation utilizing a fake hepatitis vaccine program in Pakistan to illicitly collect blood samples to confirm the presence of bin Laden or his family.[1] The CIA did not administer hepatitis vaccines, and instead planned to compare DNA samples collected from the program with the DNA of bin Laden's sister, who died in Boston in 2010.[1]

The program was ultimately unsuccessful. It led to the arrest of a participating physician, Shakil Afridi, and was widely ridiculed as undermining public health.[2][3] The program is credited with increasing vaccine hesitancy in Pakistan[4][5][6][7] and a rise in violence against healthcare workers for being perceived as spies.[8] The rise in vaccine hesitancy following the program led to the re-emergence of polio in Pakistan, with Pakistan having by far the largest number of polio cases in the world by 2014

Probably, likely.

The U.S. Government Led a Program That Forcibly Sterilized Thousands of Peruvian Women

The Peruvian case is especially horrific because so many of the sterilizations were forced. But, even if only subsidized or "encouraged," programs of this sort are nothing more than government attempts at central planning of demographics.

“An important document was published by E. Liagin with the title ‘USAID and Involuntary Sterilization in Peru,’ in which she analyzes the action made between 1995 and 1997,” said [Carlos] Polo [director of the PRI office for Latin America]. “According to her, ‘the internal archives of USAID show that in 1993 the United States basically took charge of the national health system of Peru… The bilateral accord of 1993 that put the United States in such [an] advantageous position, known as Project 2000, was signed by the Peruvian and American authorities in September 1993 and was effective for seven years, ending in 2000. An examination of this document shows that USAID-PERU, the office in Lima of USAID, was in any conceivable form in control of the Peruvian health sector, before and during the years that the abuses took part.’”
