The Trump administration has finally released their plan on how they’re restructuring USAID.
The new scheme comes only weeks after President Donald Trump teamed up with Tesla billionaire Elon Musk to slash government agencies through the Department of Energy Efficient (DOGE), forcing thousands of USAID employees from their jobs. Around 90% of USAID’s foreign aid contracts were eliminated.
Now, according to Politico, Trump wants to make USAID smaller and limit its focus, ensuring that it only takes on issues like global health, food security, disaster response, and anything that helps the administration take on China. Under the proposal, the organization’s new name will be the U.S. Agency for International Humanitarian Assistance.
All “politically oriented” programs that Trump wants to continue, like promoting democracy or empowering women, will be moved under the State Department.
