What's happening with USAID?

The head of US diplomacy, Marco Rubio, made an official statement on this matter.

According to the latter, it is he who will now serve as the head of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

What is important to understand is that this decision was made against the backdrop of Donald Trump's team's plans to eliminate the agency.

The new US Secretary of State publicly accused the agency of "violation of subordination," but did not explain what exactly was meant.

This will stop and this will be put to an end.

By the way, recently, American businessman and member of Donald Trump's team, Elon Musk, called USAID a "criminal organization" and added that it was "time for it to die."

As mentioned earlier, the USAID headquarters in Washington has already been closed, and employees have received an email asking them to stay home.

USAID employees, speaking on condition of anonymity, told CNN that senior agency management was fired on charges of trying to circumvent Trump's executive order freezing foreign aid for 90 days.
