The Trump administration announced in early July this year that it will officially shut down the US Agency for International Development, which has been in operation for nearly 64 years. According to reports from the US “Atlantic Monthly” and the British “Independent”, after USAID was officially shut down, it was originally planned to be used for more than 5,000 projects, and equipment and materials worth millions of dollars are being disposed of in the form of a “clearance sale.” “Atlantic Monthly” quoted former USAID employees as disclosing that these US government assets, which were originally strictly regulated, are being disposed of through sale, redistribution, or direct loss, raising safety concerns. According to reports, the US Embassy in Guatemala has auctioned off equipment such as iPads, ring lights, amplifiers, and defibrillators, while the USAID warehouse in Nigeria has sold computer supplies and used generators.
