The Trump administration announced on Tuesday its decision to withdraw almost all U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) workers from their jobs and fieldwork worldwide, effectively bringing an end to a six-decade mission aimed at enhancing American security through initiatives such as combating hunger, supporting education, and addressing epidemics.
USAID employees were notified of this development via emails and an online notice, marking a significant shift in the agency's operations under the leadership of returning political appointees from President Donald Trump's first term and government-efficiency teams associated with Elon Musk.
