– What we see is a two -part attack on USAID, says Karlan. On his first working day, President Donald Trump announced a 90-day freezer by foreign aid money. – One attack is on the money, and the other is on the people. Most of the employees are actually gone, says former CFO Karlan. USAID is an independent federal agency in the United States that provides foreign aid and development assistance. They account for about 40 percent of all world aids and are one of the largest donors globally. When the Trump administration notified a review of the agency to check the efficiency, Karlan first thought that the measure made sense-we thought they would stop new programs and money, but they stopped everything. Medications were not delivered, food aid was located at department stores. Was ignored earlier in February, Trump went harder and ordered that USAID will be closed. Thousands of employees are now fired. Protesters are protesting against the Trump administration’s decision to put down USAID in practice.

He is not politically appointed and therefore did not expect that he had to go even though it was now the Republicans who came to power. – I’m just a nerdy academic. Many Republicans have also been very supportive to USAID over the years. Foreign Minister Marco Rubio. news meets Karlan in Oslo, where he gives a lecture at the University of Oslo.

Finally, I sent an email where I wrote “Okay, I go”. Employees at USAID have packed their cases and are on their way out of work after being terminated.

Cuts, cuts, cuts USAID’s aid includes HIV programs in Tanzania and Lesotho, malaria medicines and educational support. In 2024, they had a budget of approximately NOK 700 billion.

While 42 says they supported the cuts. A federal judge has now lifted the six -week -long stop in foreign aid. Claiming the money goes to extremist organizations it is difficult to know what is exactly behind the motivation to cut USAID, Karlan believes. – I think many Americans struggle to see the benefits of aid help. It can quickly be perceived as a waste. Two men fill clean water funded by USAID in the city of Oleksandrivka in Donetsk. Now the project is completely on hold.

Karlan also believes that the Trump administration is more concerned with recovering something for the help you give. Whether related to poor countries or military assistance to Ukraine. – In a consultation in Congress, Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed that money from aid assistance has gone to extremist organizations. Do you agree? – Look at the data. I’m not sure what she means when she says extremist organization, but just look at the data. There is no evidence of that. It is public information who receives the money, says Karlan. Think the United States loses influence in the world The former chief financial officer is unsure of what is happening with the aid aid now. An agency supported by both parties can be the key. But it’s not going to be easy and the road there can be long, he says. Donald Trump signed a presidential order on day one: USAID is to be reviewed.
