  • Some evangelicals on Sunday slammed President Donald Trump's abrupt decision to dismantle the US Agency for International Development (USAID), with one leader calling the move "damaging and wasteful." As Business Insider reports,

The article from MSN discusses the backlash from evangelical leaders against former President Donald Trump's proposed cuts to foreign aid.

They argue that the cuts, particularly to programs aiding persecuted Christians and other vulnerable populations overseas, are not only wasteful but also contrary to the values they believe Trump should uphold. This shift in stance comes as Trump has been vocal about reducing foreign aid to redirect funds domestically, a move that evangelical leaders fear could undermine America's moral leadership and its support for religious freedom and human rights abroad.
