Trump's veto on 2,000 US Aid employees.
U.S. President Donald Trump has vetoed 2,000 USAID employees, halting aid programs worldwide. This decision could significantly impact humanitarian and development efforts, especially in underdeveloped countries. The move has raised concerns among global recipients of U.S. aid, with fears of disrupted operations.
Washington: U.S. President Donald Trump has increased his aggressive stance. On one hand, Trump had halted U.S. aid to world countries, and now he has vetoed the employees of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). A notice on the USAID website stated that 2,000 employees are being removed. Additionally, it was mentioned that, except for some, many employees worldwide are being forced to take leave.
After a federal judge permitted the removal of employees, the Trump administration moved forward with this decision. U.S. District Judge Carl Nicholas rejected the petition from labor unions to issue orders halting the government plan. Musk, who is working to reduce unnecessary government expenses, has already imposed a veto on several USAID employees. This latest decision has created fear and anxiety among the remaining employees. However, Musk has already accused USAID of being a criminal organization due to its excessive wasteful spending.
For this reason, the Trump administration announced the halting of funds. As part of this, nearly 600 employees were prevented from entering office buildings. Federal Judge Amir Ali temporarily issued a stay on these orders last week. When U.S. Congress members approved aid through USAID, the judge questioned how the government could stop it. Despite this, Trump is defending his actions. Trump has repeatedly accused the U.S. government of spending ₹182 crore through USAID to increase voter turnout in India's elections.
The decision taken by the Trump administration could have a severe impact on aid programs worldwide. USAID has played a crucial role in providing humanitarian aid, disaster relief, and development projects in underdeveloped countries for several decades. The removal of employees and halting of funds could significantly affect these aid programs.
Countries that received support through USAID might face significant difficulties due to this decision. Particularly, this decision will have a more profound impact on African, Asian, and Latin American countries. According to Trump's orders, some employees in the remaining countries may be retained, while others may be sent on leave, which could disrupt the functioning of the remaining offices.
