Bill Gates Says Trump's Cuts to USAID Are Devastating: 'It’s Not Too Late to Reverse Them'

UNITED STATES, JUL 11 – Rep. Crockett said USAID funding, less than 1% of the federal budget, supports diplomatic efforts that help prevent terrorism, warning cuts could raise attack risks.

  • Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett warned last Thursday that cutting USAID could trigger another 9/11-style terrorist attack.
  • Following President Trump’s January aid freeze, Department of Government Efficiency led by Elon Musk pressed to dismantle USAID, prompting Crockett’s defense of the agency.
  • Analysts state USAID's 0.3% share of FY 2024 federal spending suggests its defunding minimally impacts national security, despite funding unconventional projects like transgender clinics in Vietnam.
  • Critics blasted Crockett’s remarks as outrageous and offensive, calling her claim baseless fearmongering that exposes Democrat priorities, according to opponents and watchdogs.
  • Bill Gates warned that reversing aid cuts is still possible, but rollback effects, including 4.2 million HIV-related deaths by 2029, are already occurring.
