As soon as he stepped into the White House, President Donald Trump began a program to undo decades of development and humanitarian work championed by his predecessors from both the Democratic and Republican parties.
One of his first executive orders was to put a hold on all foreign development assistance.
In the months since then, the former U.S. Agency for International Development, which for decades had become a symbol of global development, was dismantled, and many humanitarian programs were hastily ended with no regard for how it would impact the lives of tens of millions of people across the globe who depend on American aid.
