Sec Rubio says purge of USAID programs complete with 83% gone, remainder now falling under State Dept
Fox News
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced early Monday morning that USAID had slashed 83% of its programs following a six week review of its spending by DOGE.
Rubio added that the remaining 18% of USAID programs—approximately 1,000—will now be managed by the State Department. The move to transfer that authority, he said, was made in consultation with Congress.
In his Monday morning post, Rubio also thanked DOGE and its "hardworking staff who worked very long hours to achieve this overdue and historic reform." Musk responded to the post, adding "good working with you," calling the work "tough but necessary."
