Summary

In a prominent July 2026 interview, former USAID Administrator Samantha Power stated that “people are dying” due to a lack of medicine and clean water, exactly one year after the Trump administration officially dismantled the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Power criticized the administration's sudden termination of the 60-year-old agency, calling the abrupt budget cuts a "cliff" that caused maximum human suffering rather than a measured policy shift.
