The Roman Catholic Church's worldwide charity arm sharply criticized President Donald Trump's cuts to U.S. foreign aid on Monday, saying his plans to end funding for relief agency USAID will have a "catastrophic" impact in the developing world.

Critics say a Trump administration order calls into question the United States’ global standing and reliability.

J ames Akot has three goats. He shares them with his wife, his mother, three younger siblings, and two of his cousin's children, in a household in Northern Bahr el Ghazal in South Sudan. The crops Akot's family planted were washed away in the floods last year, the fourth and worst flood in the region in four consecutive years.

The attacks on foreign aid come at a time when migrant shelters in Tijuana and other Mexican border cities could see increased need after Trump blocked asylum access at the southern border and aims to remove millions of people from the United States.
