<h1>Vatican Criticizes Trump Administration's USAID Funding Cuts as 'Reckless,' Warns of Global Destabilization and Poverty Risks</h1> The Vatican's charity has criticized the Trump administration's decision to significantly reduce USAID funding, labeling it as 'reckless' and warning it could lead to millions of deaths and widespread poverty. Cardinal Michael Czerny highlighted the potential destabilization of regions reliant on this aid and urged the US to reconsider. The cuts have affected major recipients like Catholic Relief Services. The administration, alongside Elon Musk, aims to reduce federal spending, targeting programs they deem ideologically driven. The Vatican also expressed concerns over the administration's immigration policies, emphasizing the need for compassion and justice in handling migrants.
