WFP aid is being looted at astronomical rates, leading a senior Trump administration official to accuse McCain of “wild incompetence.” Biden appointed her to a five-year term as WFP head.
(Sept. 10, 2025 / JNS) The Trump administration and members of Congress are calling for Cindy McCain, the widow of former senator John McCain, to be removed as executive director of the United Nations World Food Programme, the New York Post reported.
The U.N. organization has struggled to deliver aid in Gaza for months, with most of the aid being looted before reaching its intended destination, per World Food Programme and U.N. officials.
McCain has appeared unwilling to work with the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which has created centralized hubs for aid delivery, emerging as a rival to the U.N. system. The United Nations and other aid groups have denounced the foundation and said it should cease operations.
