Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement, "Today, the Department of State and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) have notified Congress on their intent to undertake a reorganization that would involve realigning certain USAID functions to the Department by July 1, 2025, and discontinuing the remaining USAID functions that do not align with Administration priorities." Rubio also noted, "Thanks to President Trump, this misguided and fiscally irresponsible era is now over. We are reorienting our foreign assistance programs to align directly with what is best for the United States and our citizens. We are continuing essential lifesaving programs and making strategic investments that strengthen our partners and our own country. This is yet another promise made and delivered to the American people." USAID was a particular target of spending cuts and efforts from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) after the Trump administration came into office. In a memo that was distributed to USAID employees, the State Department wrote that it "will seek to retire USAID's independent operation" and then see if those employees that were let go will need to be rehired. "This transfer will significantly enhance efficiency, accountability, uniformity, and strategic impact in delivering foreign assistance programs -- allowing our nation and President to speak with one voice in foreign affairs," the memo added, per ABC News. "It will also obviate the need for USAID to continue operating as an independent establishment."Let them fund their own propaganda...
