An 11 percent cut to the budgets of USAID and State may look better than the 30 percent cut proposed by the President, but it would still be profoundly damaging. It would also be dangerous. Rather than considering it in contrast with the President\u2019s budget, though, we should be looking at the House plan in contrast with the strong recommendation of 16 retired four-star generals and admirals who testified to their committees about the importance of fully funding State and USAID last month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cConsidering the number of Republican members of the House of Representatives who have spent the last few months blasting President Trump\u2019s plan to cut the nation\u2019s international affairs budget, this news is particularly disappointing. An 11 percent cut would make Americans less safe and significantly weaken America\u2019s leadership in the world, but most importantly, it would dramatically reduce the number of people living in extreme poverty who would be helped by American aid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIn the absence of a budget, we expect Senate Appropriators to come through with a more responsible spending level.
