Trump Suspends 60 USAID Officials Amid 90-Day Foreign Pause - Halts and Layoffs Impact $72 Billion

The Trump administration has placed around 60 USAID officials on leave amid a sweeping foreign aid review.

The move follows Trump’s executive order halting most foreign aid for 90 days, citing potential policy violations.

Critics claim it suppresses dissent, as exemptions for Ukraine-related programs were reportedly denied.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio exempted only emergency food aid and military support for Israel and Egypt.

The decision has triggered program shutdowns and staff layoffs globally, intensifying scrutiny over US foreign aid policies.
