Reuters reported on the resumption of at least six cancelled USAID programs in the United States.

At least six previously closed assistance programs of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) will be resumed. This was reported on April 8 by the Reuters news agency, citing sources.

It is specified that programs in Jordan, Somalia, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and Ecuador will return to work. The decision to rebuild was made after the UN World Food Program announced that the closure would most likely be a "death sentence" for many people.

According to the publication, the acting deputy administrator of USAID, Jeremy Levin, sent an internal email to all employees requesting the cancellation of layoffs.

On March 28, Reuters reported that the remaining USAID employees would be laid off in July and September. According to the newspaper, the administration of US President Donald Trump informed Congress that it would cut almost all remaining jobs at USAID, as well as close the agency.

At the same time, the head of the State Department, Marco Rubio, announced his intention to reorganize USAID by July 1. On March 10, Rubio announced that Washington was officially closing 83% of USAID programs. According to him, tens of billions of dollars were spent within the framework of 5,200 canceled contracts in ways that do not meet the basic national interests of the United States.
