United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is closing down.
He wrote about this on the social network X.
Rubio noted that USAID is being closed after some of its core programs were transferred to the State Department.
According to him, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, Russell Voth, will oversee the agency’s liquidation process.
“I joked with Trump that I had four jobs. He told me to give one to my friend Russell Vaught,” he wrote.
As the Secretary of State assured, since January 2025, it has been possible to save “tens of billions of dollars” for American taxpayers.
Earlier, American businessman Elon Musk, who was appointed by President Donald Trump to head the cost optimization commission, said that his team is working to eliminate the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
As it became known, in March the United States announced that it was officially canceling more than 80% of the programs of the Agency for International Development (USAID).
By the way, USAID management ordered employees to destroy all classified documents stored at the main office . This happened after the cancellation of 83% of programs, which led to lawsuits and inquiries from the Senate.
