Ending USAID will 'create enmity': US allies 'who counted on America now left abandoned and bereft'

Reid Brodie , former New York assistant attorney general and author of To Catch a Dictator , says sanctions on the International Criminal Court are an "existential threat" to the court.

He says the U.S. has been traditionally a champion of international justice when it relates to others, but has but has always refused the idea that justice could apply to the United States or to its allies.

Antonia Kerrigan : The clock is counting down to midnight in the US to which we're going to see USAID severely cut.

The world's largest foreign aid organization had a $42 billion budget in 2024 . It's essentially shutting up shop, the UN chief of Humanitarian Affairs told France 24 . That leaves a gaping hole in global humanitarian aid budgets. We've got to make the case afresh for humanitarian solidarity, for support for the poorest people.

Reid Brodie , former New York assistant attorney general, says the cuts in aid has undermined the very Nicaraguans who are trying to stand up to the Ortega dictatorship.

People who should be AUS allies all over the world who counted on America are now left abandoned and bereft, he says.
