Ghana's President John Mahama has criticized the recent US decision to freeze international aid, warning that it will lead to 'blowback' for the US and diminish its soft power globally. While acknowledging America's right to adjust its foreign assistance, Mahama emphasized that the aid programs are crucial in addressing significant health issues in Africa. He noted that Ghana anticipated $156 million in aid for 2025, which included essential healthcare funding, and now faces spending cuts as a result of the freeze, potentially prompting other countries to fill the aid void left by the US.
