U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced he is now the Acting Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) as part of a planned merger of the agency into the State Department. The restructuring will involve significant cuts to USAID’s workforce and budget.
Rubio, appointed by President Donald Trump as acting administrator, criticized the agency’s previous communication as “unresponsive.” The merger marks a major shift in how U.S. foreign aid will be managed, with further details expected in the coming days.
