Elon Musk's team is in the final stages of dismantling the US Agency for International Development (USAID) as part of a cost-cutting move. This initiative will result in the laying off of thousands of employees, including local hires and US diplomats. Most of USAID's functions will be absorbed by the State Department, aligning with President Trump's 'America first' policy. The changes threaten to disrupt global humanitarian efforts supported by USAID, which has played a significant role in international aid for over 60 years, as seen in the mass termination of projects.
Musk's cost-cutting initiative aims to dismantle USAID, resulting in layoffs of thousands and transferring functions to the State Department under 'America first' policies.
As part of the restructuring, notices are set to inform over 10,000 local hires abroad of layoffs, impacting a leading foreign aid provider.
