Mass Layoffs at USAID: 2,000 Positions to Be Eliminated in the U.S.

 

The Trump administration has decided to put almost all USAID (United States Agency for International Development) staff on leave, resulting in the elimination of 2,000 positions in the United States. Additionally, a significant number of employees worldwide will also be affected.

Reasons Behind the Layoffs

This decision is part of an effort to downsize the federal government and restructure its operations. A federal judge has approved the plan to place employees on leave, despite legal challenges from the affected workers.

Impact on USAID Operations

• Approximately 600 employees will remain to maintain critical operations, while many global programs are expected to shut down.
• This move will have a significant impact on U.S. foreign aid efforts, as USAID plays a crucial role in international development and humanitarian assistance.
• The decision has sparked controversy, with critics arguing that it will weaken America’s global influence and harm long-term development projects.
