The Trump administration is planning on cutting all of the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) international positions by the end of September, and transferring control to the State Department.
According to a State Department cable obtained by The Guardian Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered that USAID’s entire overseas workforce be eliminated, granting the State Department “responsibility for foreign assistance programming previously undertaken by USAID” starting on June 15.
“The Department of State is streamlining procedures under National Security Decision Directive 38 to abolish all USAID overseas positions,” the cable said.
