The closure of USAID marks the end of a six-decade-long agency focused on foreign aid, a decision criticized by former Presidents Bush and Obama, who label it a ‘colossal mistake.’ On the last day of operations, they, alongside Bono, addressed the former staff, expressing concerns over the potential loss of millions of lives due to the dismantling of the agency. Marco Rubio, who confirmed the end of USAID, indicated that future U.S. foreign assistance would be restructured under the State Department. Critics argue that the closure represents a politically motivated act resulting in significant financial loss and reduced global aid delivery. As the agency ceases operations, insiders warn that crucial programs, especially those supporting Ukraine, face an uncertain future.
