Cuts and consequences: The end of USAID — a PBS news documentary

From PBS NewsHour.

The effects of the Trump administration’s cuts to the U.S. agency for international development are being felt around the world. USAID, which for years had broad bipartisan support, was seen as a way of exporting American values and helping some of the most vulnerable people across the globe.

But the Trump administration claims it did not serve U.S. interests and has eliminated many of its operations.

In partnership with the Pulitzer Center, PBS News traveled to Kenya and Ghana to look at what happens when that support goes away.
