Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that only 18 percent of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) programs will continue, following a six-week review.
Both Trump and his advisor Elon Musk have advocated for shutting down USAID.
Rubio stated on X that billions of dollars were spent in ways that did not serve America’s core interests, and in some cases undermined them.
The remaining 18 percent of programs will now be placed directly under Rubio’s ministry, according to reports.
