Feature by Ishmael Batoma: United States (US) President, Donald Trump's decision to close down the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) would certainly have a devastating impact on countries, including Ghana.
As the politics of the closure of USAID continues in the US, with the operation of the agency being halted by the Trump administration, and staff being asked to proceed on leave, Ghana and other countries have already started feeling the heat.
A leaked letter addressed to the Director-General of the Ghana Health Service has indicated that the halt in the operation of USAID has already led to disruptions in the supply of medical supplies in some parts of the country.
With Ghana dependent on support from USAID for the implementation of projects and programmes in key sectors of the country, there would be serious consequences should the Trump administration succeed in its quest to close down the agency.
