The Trump administration says it's placing all but a fraction of staffers at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave worldwide and eliminating at least 1,600 U.S.

The Trump administration said on Sunday that it is cutting 2,000 U.S.-based positions at the U.S. Agency for International Development, while also putting a majority of global employees at the agency on leave.

The Trump administration has fired 1,600 personnel of the USAID, an agency that helped deliver aid to many countries worldwide as part of the Elon Musk-led DOGE's efforts to downsize the federal government.
