Sen. Tim Kaine: ‘It’s Illegal’ to Shut Down USAID

Share this article

Senator Tim Kaine has condemned the Trump administration’s move to dismantle USAID, calling it “illegal” and a threat to national security. He, along with 37 other senators, sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, warning that halting USAID operations disrupts life-saving aid and weakens U.S. influence abroad.

The shutdown has already led to program suspensions and staff recalls from overseas missions. Critics argue that these actions will increase global instability and harm humanitarian efforts. Kaine urges immediate action to restore USAID’s operations.
