八点最热报 | 美国总统特朗普就任后，开始启动针对联邦机构的瘦身计划，由亿万富翁马斯克率领的政府效率部，第一刀先砍向美国国际开发署。这个作为美国对外施展影响力和美式价值观的政府单位，有2千200名员工被强制休假，数十名高级官员被暂停工作，好几千名承包商被解雇，至于向其他国家提供的数十亿美元人道主义援助也遭到冻结。（主播：颜江瀚）

00:00Before watching the video, I would like to remind you that there is more content on the R.E.D.I.M.E. website.
00:30As for the $10 billion humanitarian aid provided to other countries, it has also been temporarily frozen.
00:37The number of employees around the world has decreased from 13,000 to only 300.
00:43The Trump administration's order triggered a strong protest by the Democratic Party and human rights groups.
00:49Two organizations representing the American International Development Office
00:52filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Senate the day before yesterday,
00:55accusing Trump of taking a series of unlawful actions,
00:59attempting to destroy the U.S. International Development Office.
01:02Yesterday, the judge in charge of the case issued an emergency suspension order
01:06to prevent the White House from dismissing employees of the U.S. International Development Office.
01:10There are reports that this progress marks the first major setback for Trump's administration.
01:19After President Trump took office,
01:21the government-sponsored reform project promoted by Elon Musk
01:24caused a great deal of damage to the U.S. International Development Office.
01:27Influenced civil servants raised protest slogans and took to the streets,
01:31even saying that it was Musk's job to get out of the way, not them.
01:35Although there are civil servants who are dissatisfied with the government's decision,
01:38yesterday, Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe
01:41fully defended Musk's reform during a bilateral meeting in the White House.
01:44His praise of Musk's actions may bring the first balance in American history.
01:50When you look at USAID, that's a fraud. The whole thing is a fraud.
01:54Very little being put to good use.
01:56Every single line that I look at in terms of events and transactions
02:02is either corrupt or ridiculous.
02:05And we're going to be doing that throughout government.
02:08And I think we're going to be very close to balancing budgets for the first time in many years.
02:13Now he's doing a very good job. I'm very happy with him.
02:16As for the latest issue of Times Magazine,
02:18the cover again points to Musk as the president of the private sector.
02:21And he made a big article about it.
02:23Trump responded to the reporter with an indisputable statement.
02:26Is Time Magazine still in business? I didn't even know that.
02:30Although Trump is defending Musk,
02:32there are still 19 states in the U.S.
02:34that have sued Trump for allowing Musk to gain unprecedented powers
02:38so that he can access millions of U.S. citizens' personal data.
02:42Today, Democratic Attorneys General are taking action
02:45to keep Americans' personal data secure,
02:48to keep sensitive information about Americans private,
02:51and to uphold our Constitution.
02:53We have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration
02:56for giving unauthorized individuals access to these immensely sensitive records
03:02in violation of the law.
