Secretary of State Marco Rubio has informed key congressional committees that he has appointed Pete Marocco as the acting administrator of the US Agency for International Development (USAID). Marocco, a Trump appointee who previously served at USAID during the president's first term, has been tasked with leading the agency.
In a letter addressed to the heads of congressional committees on foreign affairs and appropriations, Rubio stated that he has authorized Marocco to review and potentially reorganize USAID's activities to enhance efficiency and align operations with the national interest.
