In 2025 remarks, Republican Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana called out what he saw as massive waste in USAID's $40 billion annual spending, citing funds for a transgender clinic in India, meals to al-Qaeda-linked groups, and aid to Hamas-tied organizations in Gaza.

Conservatives celebrated the moves amid $39 trillion U.S. debt concerns, while critics warned of 600,000-760,000 deaths from halted programs; by 2026, Congress restored some aid with stricter rules.
