"And just like Elon Musk did not create USAID, he doesn't have the power to destroy it. And who's going to stop him? We are."

"Trump cannot eliminate USAID with the stroke of a pen."

Elon Musk "doesn't get to shut down the Agency for International Development."

"The President does not have the authority to eliminate statutorily authorized agencies [like USAID]."

"The Trump administration may now be backing down [from abolishing USAID]."

"800 people work for USAID's Global Health, 400 have been terminated. It's not legal. It's an unlawful shutdown, purge and dismantling of the agency."

“USAID may move, reorganize, and integrate certain missions, bureaus, and offices into the Department of State, and the remainder of the Agency may be abolished consistent with applicable law."

"We're shutting it [USAID] down."

"CLOSE IT [USAID] DOWN!"

Will USAID Shut Down?

US aid cuts could lead to millions more HIV/AIDS deaths by 2029, UN warns

The abrupt withdrawal of US funding without warning has created a humanitarian catastrophe that will reverse decades of progress against HIV/AIDS. This reckless decision abandons vulnerable populations and undermines America's global leadership in public health, potentially causing millions of preventable deaths and infections.
