US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced plans to review and potentially restructure or abolish parts of the US Agency for International Development (USAID). The move comes as part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to bring the independent aid agency under the direct control of the State Department. Rubio, who was appointed acting administrator of USAID on Monday, said in a letter that he plans to integrate certain missions and bureaus into the Department of State and potentially abolish the remainder of the agency. This move has been welcomed by some lawmakers, but others have expressed concerns about its potential impact on humanitarian efforts abroad.
