Today, the Trump administration moved to formally collapse the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), notifying remaining employees that their positions will be eliminated and that residual functions will be folded into the State Department.
The decision to unilaterally shut down an agency established by Congress is expected to draw immediate legal challenges. The administration told Congress of its intention at noon, about 10 minutes before employees were notified, according to a White House official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal government communications.
"Unfortunately, USAID strayed from its original mission long ago," said Secretary of State Marco Rubio in a statement. "Thanks to President Trump, this misguided and fiscally irresponsible era is now over."
