G.W. Bush Teams With Democrats To Denounce Trump’s USAID Cuts

Former presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama have once again united to express their disapproval of President Donald Trump, specifically regarding the reductions to international programs that they assert are crucial to U.S. interests.

In a recent video, Bush is seen alongside Obama and U2’s lead singer Bono, a vocal critic of Trump, commending the departing personnel of USAID, the international diplomacy agency that Trump significantly curtailed earlier this year. Bush has consistently advocated for funding initiatives aimed at combating AIDS and HIV in various regions of Africa.

Bush, who has largely refrained from criticizing Trump since he assumed office in 2016, utilized his video comments to lament the departure of staff members whom he credited with fostering global stability through their efforts against the spread of AIDS and HIV—a program recognized for saving 25 million lives over the last two decades.
