USAID shut down after 63 years as Rubio and Musk dismantle foreign aid giant over fraud and waste

by

The U.S. Agency for International Development is no longer operational. Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed the shutdown on July 1, marking the end of a 63-year-old institution that had become a central hub for foreign aid distribution. The decision follows months of executive orders, contract freezes, and internal audits. The State Department will now handle all remaining foreign assistance programs. The administration says the goal is to align aid with national interests and eliminate what it calls decades of inefficiency and misuse.
