The Trump administration has unveiled a plan to significantly reduce staffing for U.S. aid projects worldwide, as part of its efforts to restructure the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). This plan would result in fewer than 300 workers remaining out of the thousands currently employed by the agency.
Following this announcement, federal workers associations have filed a lawsuit seeking to halt the shutdown, arguing that President Donald Trump may not have the authority to dismantle an agency established by congressional legislation.
