What does Trump's first week in office mean for global development?
In his first week in office, U.S. President Donald Trump has implemented several executive orders, including a 90-day freeze on U.S. foreign assistance funding. The executive order states that the “foreign aid industry and bureaucracy are not aligned with American interests” and the Trump administration plans to review aid programs to decide what should stay and what should go.
Trump also ordered the nation’s exit from the World Health Organization, citing the agency’s mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic and other global health crises as one of the main reasons for his decision.
Reporting live from Davos this week, this week’s episode of This week in global development podcast also brings you reactions to the start of Trump’s second term from the World Economic Forum annual meeting.
