President Trump and Elon Musk's plan to eliminate the United States Agency for International Development, also known as USAID, makes us less secure here at home.

They also work to lift people out of poverty and promote access to justice, which helps alleviate the root causes of terrorism. For one penny out of every dollar we pay in taxes, I cannot think of a better investment to advance American security.
