Trump Admin Cuts Thousands of USAID Positions in Final Hours Before Midnight

The Trump administration is set to cut thousands of positions at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) just before midnight, in a move that will significantly reduce the agency's staff. The majority of remaining staff members are expected to be placed on administrative leave rather than being let go. This decision marks a significant shift in USAID's operations and raises concerns about the impact on global development initiatives. The exact number of positions being eliminated is not yet known.
