It's helpful to understand what USAID does, to help our friends understand. It's easy to dismiss if we don't
what does USAID do? -Administrator Samantha Power on "America's Ground Game: How USAID is Changing and Why It Matters"
Andrea Mitchell of all people has a seat on their council. She sat with Samantha Power after her 20 minute summary of how USAID takes on poverty, hunger, illiteracy, disease and conflict around the world. Great bits on the US and Russia, which makes sense out of why trump would be interested in rooting out this agency if he is working on behalf of Russia. The website is disabled at present.
