Report: Trump’s suspension of USAID has already caused loss of 35,000 jobs in Jordan
10 February 2025, 5:28 pmThe Trump administration’s recent decision to suspect USAID payments is reportedly already having a “devastating” effect in Jordan, according to a UAE report citing nonprofit organizations.
The National outlet reports that some 35,000 jobs have been lost as a result of the move, including both Jordanians and Americans working on projects funded by the US.
One of Jordan’s larger nonprofits is quoted in the Emirati report as saying that more than half of its budget comes from US sources and the aid suspension has affected operations “tremendously.”
Good GOD, Y'all!
How the fuck were we funding 35,000 jobs in Jordan when we got people on welfare in New York and California because they cannot find work? Spend that money here to provide temporary housing and job training for homeless veterans suffering from PTSD and related drug-addiction due to wars the Bush-Cheney dynasty sent them to.
The lack of funding is affecting projects covering physical and mental health, disabilities, refugees, sexual and reproductive health services, and gender-based violence protection and rehabilitation services, The National reports.
We have all those problems here, in spades. Spend the money on our own mentally ill, disabled, etc.
That's just Jordan! How many jobs were we funding worldwide?
