What is the future of USAID?

Hey there, folks!

I recently came across this article talking about what's going on with USAID and how the Trump administration's policy changes are shaking things up in the world of international aid. It got me concerned by a few important things. With programs for diseases like malaria and HIV winding down, along with cuts to education and human rights assistance, there could be some serious fallout in terms of humanitarian issues. What do you think the social ramifications will be? And how might it impact migration and security in areas where these programs were a big deal?

It's a situation that is particularly tricky in the Balkans, where the nation is facing instability and tough times financially. Without that help from international groups, things could get even more dicey.

Don't you think that Xi Jinping will move in quickly to fill the gap?

Well, Greece and Croatia are EU-countries.

Regarding the Western Balkans, the EU provides assistance through the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance, the Western Balkans Investment Framework and the European Investment Bank.
While the EU has an important role in the region, Russia and China are major players, too. Russia has been active for decades in the Western Balkans, while China has started engaging more recently.

@glenkirk,
Well, what do you think Glen? I think it's going to be a mess and US citizens are worried for our democracy and security.
