UPI news service interviewed Dr. Meena Bose for the article “Trump USAID cuts create vacuums of food, medical care for vulnerable populations.”
The president’s effort to downsize government agencies makes good on one of his biggest campaign promises, according to Dr. Bose. While presidents have attempted to increase the efficacy of agencies in the past, the article says Trump’s approach is different.
“This is kind of a hatchet approach to doing so but I think it has a certain appeal to the president’s constituencies,” Bose told UPI. “He’s getting things done, cutting through red tape.”
Dr. Bose is a Hofstra University professor of political science, executive dean of the Public Policy and Public Service program, and director of the Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency.
