CNN- Around 10,000 employees of the US Agency for International Development are the targets of President Donald Trump's job cuts today. Multiple sources tell CNN that nearly all but around 300 USAID personnel deemed essential are expected to be fired, furloughed or put on leave in the coming hours. USAID is charged with delivering humanitarian assistance overseas, but critics say its programs are wasteful and promote a liberal agenda. The Trump administration says dismantling the agency is grounded in efforts to save government money, though some some experts have warned that freezing its funds will intensify global humanitarian crises.
