Donald Trump And Elon Musk Are Targeting USAID

Description: USAID workers worldwide were pulled off the job Tuesday as President Donald Trump's administration posted notices online and sent emails telling employees that the government's spending overseas is now considered a waste and that they have 30 days to return home.

These workers have also been placed on leave effective midnight Friday. The organization's website was recently taken offline. What happens next?

We discuss what these moves mean for the future of America's international relationships and the potential consequences for people around the world who relied on this work and funding.
