    Which programs were hit hardest by the Trump administration’s aid cuts?

    For the latest episode of our podcast series, David Ainsworth sits down with Adva Saldinger and Colum Lynch to discuss the top global development stories from the past week.

    By Thomas Cserep // 28 March 2025

    Listen to "Which programs were hit hardest by the Trump administration’s aid cuts?" on Spreaker.

    Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Soundcloud, YouTube, or search “Devex” in your favorite podcast app.

    This week, the Trump administration released a detailed inventory of 5,341 discontinued USAID programs, alongside the 898 projects that are still active. We dig into the ins and outs of the data to assess the true scope of the government's policy changes, as well as reveal which programs have been most affected.

    During the conversation, we also discussed how the Trump administration’s foreign policy is affecting U.N. agencies and their funding.

    On the topic of the United Nations, the U.N. Arab Group, which represents the U.N.’s 22 Arab countries, has formally nominated Palestinian diplomat Riyad Mansour for the U.N. General Assembly presidency, setting the stage for a clash with the U.S. and Israel.

    For the latest podcast episode, Business Editor David Ainsworth sits down with Senior Reporter Adva Saldinger and Senior Global Reporter Colum Lynch to discuss these stories and others.

    Note: This podcast episode was recorded before the White House withdrew Rep. Elise Stefanik’s nomination to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. U.S. President Donald Trump posted on the social media platform Truth Social Thursday that he has asked her to step aside so Republicans could keep the majority in the House of Representatives and not risk giving up her seat.

    Watch the full episode. Via YouTube. Check out all episodes on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, YouTube, or search “Devex” in your favorite podcast app.
