"Pete Marocco's abrupt departure from his role as director of the Office of Foreign Assistance highlights the internal conflicts within the Trump administration regarding funding cuts to USAID."
"The effective dismantling of the USAID, with an 83% cut to its overseas funding, raises concerns about the future of foreign assistance under the current administration."
Pete Marocco, appointed by President Trump to oversee the Office of Foreign Assistance, has left his position after just three months. His tenure was marked by significant cuts to USAID, with 83% of its overseas project funding canceled during his brief time in office. Tensions with Secretary of State Marco Rubio over these funding cuts reportedly led to Marocco's abrupt exit, which he learned about during a White House meeting when asked to return his agency badge. The State Department is expected to release a reorganization plan that includes the integration of remaining USAID functions.
