Congressman Sherman Statement on Trump's efforts to dissolve USAID

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Brad Sherman (CA-32) issued the following statement on the Trump administration's efforts to dissolve The United States Agency for International Development (USAID): 

"President Trump's efforts to dissolve USAID aren't just illegal - they risk America's security, prosperity, and the health of our families.

USAID's lifesaving health programs combat the spread of HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, Ebola, bird flu and more.

USAID supports the most vulnerable populations in conflict zones, undermining the ability of terrorist groups to recruit and reemerge, while also helping to stem mass migration.

China competes with the U.S. for influence in countries where USAID operates. But America - through USAID - offers lifesaving programs and provides a stark contrast to China’s predatory loans."
