”As Trump seeks access to resources in Greenland and Ukraine, a billion-dollar expansion of the biggest US strategic critical-minerals project in Africa faces delays because of his administration’s sweeping foreign-aid freeze. The project— intended to ferry minerals from the Central African copperbelt to the Angolan coast for export to the West — is among mining and energy projects across the continent that have been pledged funding from the US Agency for International Development. Government officials and developers now fear such projects may be disrupted, leaving a potential opening for rivals like China.”

Gonna be funny when MAGA figures out that USAID is not just about giving away American money to poor brown people but is actually incredibly useful for greasing the skids for American political and economic interests around the world and backtrack on dismantling it after having already done permanent damage to it.
These really are the dumbest fucking people on the planet.
