The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is undergoing changes as Secretary Marco Rubio has been appointed as the Acting Administrator. This move by President Donald J. Trump aims to address concerns that USAID's funding and activities are not in line with American national interests.
Secretary Rubio has informed Congress of an ongoing review of USAID’s foreign assistance programs, which may lead to a reorganization of the agency. The focus is on ensuring that USAID aligns with an "America First" agenda, safeguarding American interests, and preventing misuse of taxpayer funds.
The decision reflects a shift towards more stringent oversight and evaluation of USAID's role in advancing U.S. interests abroad.
