The process of closing the US Agency for International Development (USAID) has begun.
A number of key programs have already been transferred to the State Department. The manager of the liquidation process was selected by the Director of Management and the United States Budget, Russell Wat. From the beginning of freezing, the USAID Washington has been able to save tens of millions of dollars. On August 29, State Secretary Marco Rubio announced this on a social network.
I joked with the president that I have four works. He said: give one to my other Ross. So I did it. Since January, we have saved tens of billions of dollars for taxpayers. Now Ross leads the process of closing the agency, which has long been out of control, the message will say.
It is known that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) began work in 1961. He was engaged in the distribution of foreign non -enabled assistance from America in more than 100 countries. In 2025, its budget was supposed to consist of $ 42.8 billion.
In January of this year, the President of the United States Donald Trump froze all the agency’s foreign assistance in January, after which USAID was sent to the US State Department.
We recall that in March it became known that the US Department of United States announced the official closing of USAID and told Congress that he was transferring part of the agency’s functions as part of the reorganization. It was stated that programs that do not correspond to the current priorities of the administration.
