The US government officially dissolved USAID.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the State Department plans to discontinue other USAID functions because they are not aligned with the administration's priorities. According to Rubio, USAID's activities have deviated from its original mission, resulting in too few results while costing too much. USAID programs that will continue under the State Department's management include "humanitarian assistance, global health programs, strategic investments, and national security programs to some extent."

Jeremy Lewin, a representative of the US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and a senior official at USAID, said that essentially all positions that do not meet the regulations at USAID will be eliminated, adding that employees of the agency will begin receiving notices of reductions starting March 28. Dissolving USAID will "significantly improve the efficiency, accountability, consistency, and strategic impact of implementing foreign aid programs - allowing the country and the President to have a unified voice on foreign affairs," according to Lewin.

Experts say the decision to completely dismantle a federal agency is expected to prompt legal scrutiny. But other observers disagree, arguing that despite its limitations, the agency plays an important role in humanitarian relief and bolsters America’s soft power around the world .
