WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said on Monday that a team from the U.S. Agency for International Development was traveling to Myanmar to help identify the most pressing needs in the wake of the earthquake there.
U.S. disaster experts, including those based in Bangkok, Manila and Washington are monitoring the situation, she told a news briefing, days after President Donald Trump’s administration told Congress it would cut nearly all remaining jobs at USAID and shut the agency.
