Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that he is the acting administrator of the US Agency for International Development with Elon Muska and Donald Trump want to shut down. USAID‘s headquarters was closed Monday and the employees were sent a mail at night asking them to remain at home today as the future of the agency hangs in the balance. The website of the agency and the social media accounts went dark and thousands of personal services contractors and civil servants lost access to email and SAID systems overnight.
What will happen to USAID?
The agency could be entirely shut down and placed under the umbrella of the state department as Marco Rubio has been appointed as the acting director.
“With regards to the USAID stuff, I went over it with (the president) in detail and he agreed that we should shut it down,” Musk said in a X Spaces conversation early Monday. Donald Trump agreed and said USAID has been run by a bunch of radical lunatics and they will be purged first and then a decision will be taken about the future of the agency.
