The U.S. State Department made an official announcement on Friday regarding the closure of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) following a victory by the Trump administration in a federal court battle concerning the cost-reduction measures implemented by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk.
“Foreign assistance done right can advance our national interests, protect our borders, and strengthen our partnerships with key allies. Unfortunately, USAID strayed from its original mission long ago. As a result, the gains were too few and the costs were too high,” said Secretary of State Marco Rubio in a statement.
