Sky News is coming under fire from Trump supporters after the news network published a column linking the devastation caused by Myanmar’s catastrophic earthquake and humanitarian crisis to President Trump and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
At the heart of the uproar is a 1,200-word dispatch filed by International Affairs Editor Dominic Waghorn, whose commentary argued how the US government’s dismantling of USAID under Trump had compounded the disaster’s fallout.
‘The Myanmar quake is the first major disaster to suffer the brunt of Donald Trump’s USAID cuts,’ Waghorn wrote, pointing to the administration’s controversial closure of America’s international aid agency as a contributing factor to the scale of the suffering.
