In response to reports that President Trump is moving towards dismantling USAID, Paul O’Brien, executive director of Amnesty International USA said:
“Governments around the world are significantly better equipped to meet their human rights obligations because of the technical and financial resources USAID provides.
“An abrupt collapse of the agency would put the rights of millions of people around the world at greater risk as a result.
“What dismantling USAID doesn’t do is make anyone safer or more prosperous. Congress should immediately step in to challenge this.”
