DOGE Uses Police in Illegal Seizure of Independent Nonprofit
Despite a reversal of funding cuts, crucial cleanup efforts in Vietnam remain stalled due to unpaid contractors and absent USAID oversight. This inaction stems from the Trump-Musk administration’s drastic cuts to foreign aid, jeopardizing efforts to remediate dioxin contamination—a legacy of U.S. military actions during the Vietnam War. The failure to address this environmental and public health crisis undermines America’s international standing and responsibility. The contractors are now facing mounting costs to secure the area themselves before heavy rains arrive.
