Since President Donald Trump took office in January, there has been a great deal of attention focused on the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). With the DOGE team empowered to ferret out government waste and fraud, USAID landed under the microscope, and the more we learned, the uglier things got. 

Just two weeks into the administration, newly confirmed Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced he would be taking over as acting director of the agency.

On Tuesday, Rubio shared an even bigger announcement regarding the fate of the agency and the manner in which the U.S. will handle foreign assistance going forward.
