Former US President Barack Obama has described current US President Donald Trump's decision to pause foreign aid to other countries as a profound foreign policy mistake.
After his inauguration in January, President Trump signed new executive orders, including a 90-day pause on US foreign aid and the withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO).
The decision created uncertainty for many African countries, including Kenya, which heavily rely on aid from developed nations for economic sustainability.
While retweeting a news article by The New York Times, Obama reiterated the importance of foreign aid, emphasizing that it helps combat disease, feed children, and promote goodwill and that withdrawing it would be a mistake.
