Trump government will dismiss almost two thousand Usaid employees

The information was transmitted to USAID servers by an email, according to the Reuters. “I am sorry to inform you that you have been affected by a strength reduction action,” says an excerpt from the report. Those who received the note will be dismissed from the federal service from April 24, added the email.

The Trump administration intends to leave less than 300 employees in office, as well as a few thousand employees hired locally abroad operating in “critical functions of mission, central leadership and/or specially designated programs,” the email explained.

The action of reducing the size of USAID began with Elon Musk, which heads the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge). The businessman accused the US foreign aid agency of maintaining “unnecessary expenses.” One of the recent cases reported that Funds from USAID were destined to groups that support terrorism in the Middle East.

With this and other questionable expenses, Trump acted to reduce the strength of the agency first with the imposition of a 90 -day break in sending resources abroad. Then the president appointed the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, as an interim director of USAID for this restructuring.
