Breaking News: U.S Cancels 83% of USAID Programs, Shifts Oversight to State Department

Following a six-week review, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced the cancellation of 83% of USAID’s programs, eliminating over 5,200 contracts that were deemed misaligned with U.S. national interests.

The remaining programs, representing 17% of USAID’s portfolio, will now be managed by the State Department for enhanced oversight.

The overhaul has ignited polarized reactions, with advocates praising its focus on efficiency, while critics warn of potential humanitarian consequences. Notably, entrepreneur Elon Musk has publicly supported the decision, describing it as a crucial step.
