Secretary of state says 83% of USAID programs are being canceled
USAID has been the target of DOGE, the Elon Musk-helmed agency created in an executive order signed by President Trump on his first day in office.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said early Monday that 83% of programs funded by U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, are being canceled, in the latest for the beleaguered agency that provides humanitarian aid overseas and has become the target for the Elon Musk-helmed Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.
Rubio said on his personal X account that the cancellations come after a six-week review, and that "the 5200 contracts that are now cancelled 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."
