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.

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

Several U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) websites and datasets related to HIV, LGBTQ issues, youth health behaviors, and more were removed following an executive order from President Donald Trump.
