Center for Global Development’s “U.S. Development Policy”: Putting Foreign Aid Cuts in Context
Jared Kalow, research assistant at CGD, discusses the Trump administration’s budget blueprint and its potential impact on the international affairs budget, writing, “Put funding for the 150 account in context, and you better understand the broader trend [of U.S. funding] and two crucial points: (1) the 150 Account is a tiny slice of the federal budget, so proposed cuts will contribute little toward shoring up much larger accounts like national defense; and (2) increases in foreign assistance over the past sixteen years have supported U.S. development efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and helped deliver on a historic U.S. commitment to fight global HIV/AIDS, particularly in Africa” (3/22).
