Former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama publicly condemned the Trump administration's dismantling of USAID, joining singer Bono in an emotional farewell via videoconference to the shuttered aid agency.
Obama, a Democrat, called the decision "a colossal mistake," while the Republican Bush decried the cuts to his signature HIV/AIDS relief program, asking, "Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you."
Bono, appearing as a surprise guest, fought back tears as he honored the agency's workers, calling them "the best of us." The videoconference marked the end of USAID's 63-year run as an independent agency before its absorption into the State Department under Secretary Marco Rubio.
