With a budget of over $27 billion, USAID is one of the largest official aid agencies in the world, and accounts for more than half of all U.S. foreign assistance—the highest in the world in absolute dollar terms. Congress passed the Foreign Assistance Act on September 4, 1961, which reorganized U.S. foreign assistance programs and mandated the creation of an agency to administer economic aid. USAID was subsequently established by the executive order of President John F. Kennedy, who sought to unite several existing foreign assistance organizations and programs under one agency. USAID became the first U.S. foreign assistance organization whose primary focus was long-term socioeconomic development. USAID's programs are authorized by Congress in the Foreign Assistance Act, which Congress supplements through directions in annual funding appropriation acts and other legislation. As an official component of U.S. foreign policy, USAID operates subject to the guidance of the President, Secretary of State, and the National Security Council. USAID has missions in over 100 countries, primarily in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe... [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] |

Sovereign immunity waives a holder from all legal liability for their actions. It is proposed that this immunity from responsibility is a "shield which The World Bank wants to resort to, for escaping accountability and security by the people". As the United States has veto power, it can prevent the World Bank from taking action against its interests... [link to en.m.wikipedia.org (secure)] |

Just thought I'd bring this up before the Trump bashers started screaming that USAID is "all his fault". Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78089523 You're right. ___________ Trump Administration Restores Central American Aid After Immigration Deals By MAIREAD MCARDLE October 17, 2019 9:34 AM (National Review) - The Trump administration announced Wednesday that it will restore economic aid to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras after reaching deals on immigration with the three countries. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that the “targeted assistance,” which reportedly amounts to close to $150 million, will be reinstated. The aid was cut off earlier this year “until the governments of these countries took sufficient action to reduce the overwhelming number of migrants coming to the U.S. border.” “To enable further progress in these countries’ efforts, some targeted Department of State and USAID funding will resume at this time,” Pompeo said. “This funding will support programs that are advancing our joint efforts to mitigate illegal immigration from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.” The administration has signed deals on immigration with all three countries in recent months. In July, the U.S. signed a “safe third country” agreement with Guatemala, which stipulates that the U.S. may send away asylum seekers who have passed through Guatemala without attempting to obtain asylum there first. The U.S. has signed less specific deals with El Salvador and Honduras pledging to work together to address the heavy migration flow. However, federal courts blocked the Trump administration policy forbidding asylum applications from migrants who passed through other countries without seeking asylum. The Supreme Court granted the administration a stay on that ruling in September, allowing the White House to carry out its policy pending the outcome of litigation...
