The Trump administration has taken a significant step by placing approximately 60 senior career officials at the US Agency for International Development (USAID) on immediate leave. This move, which was initiated on Monday, has raised eyebrows and sparked concerns among many.
According to sources, there was a particular focus on USAID's general counsel's office during this action. Acting Administrator Jason Gray linked this decision to President Donald Trump's recent executive order that suspended almost all foreign assistance. Gray mentioned in an internal statement that certain actions within USAID seemed to be aimed at circumventing the President's Executive Orders and the will of the American people.
