Two unions sue Donald Trump over USAID shutdown, citing 'humanitarian crisis'
Friday, 7 February 2025 Two major unions have sued President Trump, alleging his administration's unconstitutional and illegal attempts to dismantle USAID. The drastic cuts, influenced by Elon Musk, risk thousands of jobs and have already caused a global humanitarian crisis. Unions demand the restoration of USAID’s funding, staff, and global operations to prevent further damage.
