Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed on Monday that over 80% of all USAID contracts will be cancelled, as the Donald Trump administration continues its crusade to slash government spending.
Concretely, Rubio said that 5,200 contracts, representing 83% of the total, will be discontinued. He argued in a publication on X that they "spent tens of billions of dollars in ways that did not serve, (and in some cases even harmed), the core national interests of the United States."
