Former Congressman says USAID lost trust before Trump administration moved to reprioritize funding

Former Florida Congressman Ted Yoho says in testimony at a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on funding priorities at the US Agency for International Development that USAID lost trust from a large portion of the American people and international community, citing Lincoln's principle that public support enables action while its absence prevents it, emphasizing that many administrations and Congresses acknowledged needed reforms but failed to act until the Trump Administration implemented changes despite debates about authority and implementation methods.
