The Trump administration's shutdown of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) has left thousands of agency employees, foreign contractors, and American businesses, farms, and nonprofits struggling to pay workers and cover bills. More than 80 percent of companies that have contracts with USAID are American. The shutdown has resulted in the layoff of nearly 13,000 American workers, according to USAID Stop-Work. The impact of the shutdown is far-reaching, affecting crop innovation work, refugee missions, tracking USAID's effectiveness, and suppliers of USAID-funded goods. Farmers are also concerned about losing market share.
