Rubio orders firings of all USAID staffers overseas to move forward
- On Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed that USAID had discontinued 5,200 out of its 6,200 global projects, with the State Department taking over the administration of the programs that remain.
- Following the Trump administration’s January pause on foreign aid, plans were announced to terminate the entire overseas workforce of USAID by dismissing personnel in over 100 countries.
- The cuts threaten global health efforts, with Public Citizen reporting that the stop-work order halted 32 clinical trials across 25 countries, mainly in Africa and Asia.
- An analysis estimates the White House's proposed two-thirds cut in aid could risk 1 million lives, including 675,000 from HIV and 285,000 from malaria and tuberculosis.
- The elimination of USAID's international workforce signals a major realignment of U.S. foreign aid management with uncertain impacts on global health and humanitarian assistance.
