More USAID staff ousted after Trump administration dismantles aid agency

The Trump administration has significantly restructured the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), leading to the ousting of several key staff members. This overhaul includes the dismissal of senior officials like the assistant administrator for Africa, the chief of staff, and the deputy chief of staff, among others. The changes are part of a broader initiative to align USAID more closely with the administration's foreign policy objectives, focusing on reducing foreign aid and redirecting funds towards domestic priorities.
