In an interview with FRANCE 24, J. Brian Atwood, who was head of USAID under 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.
