Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Administration to Dismantle USAID Operations Worldwide
Caption: Trump Administration to Dismantle USAID Operations Worldwide. The Trump administration has announced plans to pull nearly all U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) workers from global missions, effectively ending a six-decade effort to fight hunger, fund education, and combat epidemics. The decision, communicated via emails and online notices, gives overseas staff 30 days to return home unless deemed essential. Contractors deemed non-essential will also be let go. This move, part of a broader effort to consolidate USAID into the State Department, follows critiques from Trump-era appointees and government-efficiency teams led by Elon Musk, who called overseas aid spending “wasteful”. The order, which takes effect Friday at midnight is the most extreme of several proposals considered, signaling a significant shift in U.S. foreign aid strategy.
