Rubio announced his intention to reorganize USAID by July 1.

The U.S. State Department has informed Congress that it will reorganize the Agency for International Development (USAID) by July 1. This was announced on March 28 by the head of the State Department, Marco Rubio.

"Today, the State Department and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) notified Congress of their intention to reorganize, which provides for the transfer of certain functions of USAID to the department by July 1, 2025 and the termination of the remaining functions of USAID, which do not meet the priorities of the administration," Rubio said on the website of the State Department.

Rubio noted that USAID has long since moved away from its original mission. He added that the United States continues to implement vital programs and make strategic investments that will strengthen partners and the United States itself.

Earlier, on March 10, Rubio announced that Washington was officially closing 83% of USAID programs. According to him, tens of billions of dollars were spent in ways that do not meet the basic national interests of the United States within the framework of 5,200 canceled contracts.
