Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Tuesday that the U.S. Agency For International Development (USAID) would no longer be sending foreign assistance across the globe, marking a formal end to the agency’s funneling of funds to leftist social programs and non-governmental organizations.
When announcing the shift on Tuesday, Rubio stated that USAID had for decades funneled money to programs that did not advance the interests of the United States. Any programs that the Trump Administration wishes to continue will be handled directly by the State Department, Rubio announced.
“Beyond creating a globe-spanning NGO industrial complex at taxpayer expense, USAID has little to show since the end of the Cold War. Development objectives have rarely been met, instability has often worsened, and anti-American sentiment has only grown,” the secretary wrote in a press release.
“This era of government-sanctioned inefficiency has officially come to an end. Under the Trump Administration, we will finally have a foreign funding mission in America that prioritizes our national interests. As of July 1st, USAID will officially cease to implement foreign assistance. Foreign assistance programs that align with administration policies—and which advance American interests—will be administered by the State Department, where they will be delivered with more accountability, strategy, and efficiency,” he continued.
