US Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote on his X page that 83% of USAID programs have been canceled following the reviews.
“After a six-week review, we officially cancel 83% of USAID programs.
The 5,200 contracts that have now been canceled spent tens of billions of dollars in ways that did not serve (and, in some cases, harmed) the United States's core national interests.
In consultation with Congress, we intend to have the State Department manage the remaining 18% (about 1,000) of our maintained programs more effectively.
