The future of USAID is uncertain as the Trump administration plans to merge it with the State Department, with reductions in funding and workforce. Secretary of State Marko Rubio accused USAID leadership of insubordination and declared himself the acting head of the agency. Trump criticized foreign spending and targeted USAID, while its closure would significantly impact humanitarian programs worldwide. USAID is a key agency for U.S. international aid, and any changes in its operation would have far-reaching effects.
USAID may merge with State Department, funding cuts likely.
