More USAID staff ousted after Trump administration dismantles aid agency

By Jonathan Landay, Patricia Zengerle and Andrea Shalal WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Trump administration removed two top security officials at the U.S. Agency for International Development during the weekend after they tried to stop representatives from billionaire Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from gaining access to restricted parts of the building,

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. Critics argue that these moves could undermine the effectiveness of U.S. foreign aid programs, particularly in critical areas like global health, democracy promotion, and humanitarian assistance. The administration, however, insists that these changes are necessary to make foreign aid more efficient and results-oriented.
