The Trump administration has officially decided to fire 2,000 employees of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) following a federal judge's ruling that grants President Trump the authority to make such cuts. This drastic action, which impacts nearly all USAID personnel, will place them on administrative leave globally, as confirmed through a notification email. Critics of the move argue that it aims to weaken the agency and strip it of its functions while highlighting the potential negative consequences for those relying on USAID's support and programs.
The Trump administration's decision to fire 2,000 USAID employees, following a judge's ruling, aims to strip the agency of its power and eliminate alleged fraud.
According to CNN's Kevin Liptak, an email was sent notifying USAID employees that virtually the entire workforce would be placed on administrative leave globally.
Advocates for USAID's programs warn that the administration's cuts could lead to serious hardships not only for employees but also for people relying on assistance.
The sweeping measures taken are presented as eliminating liberal programs, but critics emphasize the detrimental impact on essential services provided by USAID.
