In an interview with FRANCE24, J. Brian Atwood, who was head of USAID under President Bill Clinton, warned that US President Donald Trump’s deep foreign aid cuts are a “slow-running disaster” that would severely impact global health, food security and migration. “Many, many people are going to suffer,” he said, adding that “there’ll be a lot more migration”. Atwood said the Trump administration had a “transactional” and “narrow-minded” worldview that abandons long-term peace and prosperity in favour of short-term return for the US taxpayer.
