USAID cuts dire for nation's farmers, advocate says

() President Trump’s broad efforts to cut wasteful federal spending, including some foreign aid, will end up hurting U.S. farmers, an advocate says.

John Boyd Jr., president of the National Black Farmers Association, predicts “havoc and devastation” for family farmers like himself, if the Trump administration moves forward with the spending cuts it envisions for the United States Agency for International Development.

“The president appears to be kind of heartless here, with the cuts that he’s making. I’m disappointed in the administration so far,” Boyd told “ Prime” on Sunday.

More than $340 million in food purchases and shipments have immediately been paused, leaving tons of American crops in limbo, the Washington Post has reported. Boyd says even voters who supported Trump in the 2024 presidential election probably do not support the president’s unilateral approach.

“As we move forward in this country, we’ve got to be a part of this discussion and also a part of the decision-making,” Boyd said.

Trump says USAID is wasteful and spends money on programs that don’t align with his views.
