USAID Shuts Down After 64 Years of Global Chaos
USAID is ceasing operations, with its functions transferred to the Department of State.

Secretary Rubio cited a lack of alignment with US interests and ineffective resource allocation as reasons for the change, which includes canceling most of its projects.
