The recent cuts to US foreign aid, including the termination of a $20 million education project in Iraq linked to "Sesame Street," highlight a significant decline in America's soft power.

The reductions have raised concerns among NGOs and allies about the US's commitment to values like human rights and development in the region.
Senator John Curtis urged Elon Musk to approach federal spending cuts with compassion, emphasizing the real-life impact on individuals. As Musk leads efforts to reduce the federal workforce and spending, Republican lawmakers are advocating for a rescission package to ensure accountability and mitigate harm to everyday people. Concerns about the cuts have sparked legal challenges and voter backlash, prompting discussions on the need for a more careful approach to government reductions.
Senate Republicans are urging Elon Musk to involve Congress in his efforts to cut federal spending and workforce through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
