In an unexpected development, Ivanka Trump and Melania Trump have been promoted within the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) as the agency continues to face scrutiny. Ivanka, the former Senior Advisor to her father, President Donald Trump, has taken on a key role that is expected to influence the agency’s global development efforts. Meanwhile, Melania Trump has been lauded for her initiative aimed at promoting education for girls in developing countries. This announcement comes shortly after President Trump referred to USAID as a ‘tremendous fraud’ where he claims his wife and daughter were ‘promoted’ but not fully utilized. According to Trump, ‘American tax dollars should not support organizations that aren’t transparent about their operations.’ The internal changes at USAID seem to coincide with the broader challenge the agency faces in maintaining accountability amid allegations of mismanagement and ineffective allocation of funds. As per reports, these promotions are also part of an effort to overhaul the agency’s public image, which has been tarnished due to accusations from both the political left and right. These promotions of prominent figures from the Trump family raises eyebrows and questions about favoritism and political connections in federal appointments. Ivanka stated, ‘I am committed to leveraging my experience and passion to make a lasting impact on the world,’ while Melania added, ‘Education is the key to unlocking a child’s potential, and I look forward to continuing to support initiatives that empower young women around the globe.’ Observers believe that these developments could reshuffle the dynamics within USAID as it seeks to improve transparency and restore public trust.
