The US Agency for International Development (USAID) has officially closed its doors after President Donald Trump gradually dismantled the agency over its allegedly wasteful spending.
More than 80% of all the agency's programmes were cancelled as of March, and on Tuesday the remainder were formally absorbed by the state department.
The shuttering of USAID - which administered aid for the US government, the world's largest such provider - has been newly criticised by former Presidents Barack Obama and George W Bush.
These aid cuts could cause more than 14 million additional deaths by 2030, according to a warning published by researchers in the Lancet medical journal.
The authors of the Lancet report called the numbers "staggering", and projected that a third of those at risk of premature deaths were children.
A state department official said the study used "incorrect assumptions" and insisted that the US would continue to administer aid in a "more efficient" way, the AFP news agency reported.
Founded in 1961, USAID previously employed some 10,000 people, two-thirds of whom worked overseas, according to the Congressional Research Service.
The controversial cuts began early in Trump's second term, when billionaire and former presidential adviser Elon Musk was tasked with shrinking the federal workforce.
The move was widely condemned by humanitarian organisations around the world.
Among the programmes that were curbed were efforts to provide prosthetic limbs to soldiers injured in Ukraine, to clear landmines in various countries, and to contain the spread of Ebola in Africa.
On Wednesday morning, the agency's website continued to display a message saying that all USAID direct-hire personnel globally had been placed on administrative leave from 23 February.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio previously said that the remaining 1,000 programmes after the cuts would be administered under his department.
"This era of government-sanctioned inefficiency has officially come to an end," he added on Tuesday.
"Under the Trump Administration, we will finally have a foreign funding mission in America that prioritizes our national interests," he wrote in a post on Substack.
Trump has repeatedly said he wants overseas spending to be closely aligned with his "America First" approach.
Bush and Obama delivered their messages of condemnation in a video conference they hosted with U2 singer Bono for thousands of members the USAID community.
Bush, a fellow member of Trump's Republican Party, focused on the impact of cuts to an AIDS and HIV programme that was started by his administration and subsequently credited with saving 25 million lives.
"You've showed the great strength of America through your work - and that is your good heart,'' Bush told USAID workers in a recorded statement, according to US media. "Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you."
Meanwhile Obama, a member of the opposition Democratic Party, affirmed the work that USAID employees had already done.
"Gutting USAID is a travesty, and it's a tragedy. Because it's some of the most important work happening anywhere in the world," Obama was quoted as saying.
Long-time humanitarian advocate Bono spoke about the millions of people who he said could die because of the cuts.
"They called you crooks, when you were the best of us," he told attendees of the video conference.
USAID was seen as integral to the global aid system. After Trump's cuts were announced, other countries followed suit with their own reductions - including the UK, France and Germany.
Last month, the United Nations said it was dealing with "the deepest funding cuts ever to hit the international humanitarian sector".
Trump global aid cuts risk 14 million deaths in five years, report says
He's feathered his own nest, gave the wealthy a heave ho and threw the poor and needy under a bus. Funny how the Zombies would normally shriek and scream blue murder but not so when it's Trump.
Using just South Africa as an example
If our pathetic government actually tried to get it's act together, and did not pillage billions from this country every single working day, we would never have to rely on someone like the USA to supply us with aid.
The people that don't understand what happened here are very naive
It's like you are living on a street, and all your neighbours are relying on you to provide them with financial assistance, to help them cut their grass and maintain their homes......but when you do provide the financial assistance every month, each neighbour goes off and buys themselves some luxury products whilst neglecting their own home and their garden.... leaving it to detoriorate.....
That is exactly the same here.
The US has been abused for too long and it's about time someone stepped up and took control.
We have a president here in SA that needed another president, Trump, to actually illustrate to him on international TV about what was happening in his own country, regarding the White crosses along the road, representing farm murders...... you don't get more out of touch than that.
Over the last 3 decades a trillion Rand wealth has been channeled to just 100 famalies...they didn't work for it, they didn't steal it, the received it just for being black elites...BBEEE in a nutshell...Cyril is an extremely wealthy guy, but it's not enough. He has to steal more...he and his ANC cronies...filthy rich while the poor masses live worse than medieval serfs in their zink shacks....in the dirt and mud...but the blame is put on the Afrikaner...the forever scapegoat...pathetic...SIES.
bnm
But the die hards will continue saying that USAID must just keep giving....and giving.... and giving.
Where the hell is the accountability and responsibility on those countries that USAID does and has already previously helped with millions and billions of dollars.. including South Africa.
That is unfortunately the sad go to these days..... we can't help ourselves, so the USA must help us instead...
And people want to question why the aid got stopped .... ridiculous and pathetic.
I really do hope that they bring back some of the financial aid for the genuine recipients that needs it.... but in a more structured, transparent and easily trackable process, to minimise the very rampant fraud and corruption that has been going on for years.
If that was where my tax money was going, I would also want to stop it.
Having said that, the USA is not even looking after it's own citizens properly, especially it's veterans, yet it is fully expected to financially support so many other initiatives around the world....
Yep, have to agree, Donnie is corrupt. He needs to read his own bible not sell it.
But but but....the Irish tax system!
So USAID must just continue to hand over money to countries that cannot look after themselves and also never take any accountability for why they cannot financially support their own programs or initiatives...
.
Tump Supporters.
Countries should take accountability for their own finances.
Also Trump supporters
America's financial problems are caused by other countries exploiting America.
Countries should take accountability for their own finances.
So you think they shouldn't....
America's financial problems are caused by other countries exploiting America.
I don't agree that the USA's financial problems are caused by other countries, but I do 100% believe that other countries have and still are exploiting America's goodwill and financial assistance. .....
"Yep, have to agree, Donnie is corrupt. He needs to read his own bible not sell it."
Most investigated president ever 10 years in and there's still a lot of allegations and no tangible proof...if he's really, proof it and lock him up...but you can't...the best you got is the bogus election interference Stormy Daniels horse sh!t...suck it up buttercup...3.5 more years and bags of more tears...checked the markets of late?
Countries should take account of their own financial problems….
Exactly what Trump is busy doing…creating a level playing field
Have you any proof that Trump is corrupt/ He was aa billionaire and enver took his US Presidential salary.- so how is it that he is corrupt - goive us examples of how ahnd where he got money in retiirun for favours - like in hwich Biden and Hunter Biden operated, He had to try and clear up corruption in the USA - with the kraine War the mot coprrupt in the history of the USA with Defense Force officials could not account on what $258 billion was spent - eay for every dollar spent by the Department on armaments bought 15% were kicked back to corrupt politicians and army generals,
What is more corrupt is for the FBI and Justice Department not acting on corruption in the USA. So it bcame a practice protected by the law enforcement department protecting the real thieves of Government funding. Now the previous head of the FBI is promoting the essassinmation of Trump - why should that be?
But please give us examples of corruption and forget about the Presidential plane which is to be delivered to the Department of Defense for use by the President, If anyrthing corrupt was involved it benefits the taxpayers from paying through taxation for a replacemnt of the 35 year old plane at present used as Air Force 1. That BS showed you lot do not know how Government corruption works and what entails coruption.
Then there was the famous USAID story, The system was corrupt to the core and nobody cares about how it was operating. USAID gave billions to US Committees caiming that they represent groups of people from variosu countries and what is left of the money is passed on to fake and corrupt organizations operating in especially countries like Lebanon, Somalia and Gaza, Another example is using USAID to fund George Soros allowing him yo fund election of State and District Attorneys - which then applied his prescriptions of how Law and Order should be handled, The claim was that Soros funded training programs for SA's and DA's - in other words he was using funds to influence the USA legal system in his favor.
In the four years Biden was President rthe USA Federal debt increased by $10 trillion dollars. The money for paying ot Billions as foreign aid using USAID was just adding to a vey sick and corrupt Public Service and it left each US Citizen alive at present with a debt of $103 000 to the banks and other lenders, Trump is trying to stop that leak and has stopped payments of anything by the Government ending up in bribery and corruption - while the leftist media and BSters come up with stories about him being corrupt, So give us some examples of corruption on the part of Trump.

No answer as to where Trump was corrupt - and it is eivdent that the corruption story is BS supreme, That is why the whole story about corruption is batshit that took over your brain-functioning .
Now for the rest. In 2019 Trump found out that the USAID program was utterly corrupt - there were no process in place that money was used for the purpose it was allocated, Aside from that there were kickback systems in place where both politicians and bureaucrats got kickbacks from allocations made, Trump then stopped all cash transfers to all countries worldwide and instructed the State Department and Treasury to come up with a system where porcesses that would ensure that Aid money was spent for the purpose it was allocatred and that the State Department ensure audits are done in respect of aid money grants to different countries wordwide, One of the main problem cases were Ukraine and Trump then decided that there would be NO cash transfers be done to Ukraine for weapons and that the US Govenment will buy the arms Ukraine needed for defense and sent the arms to Ukraine,
That resulted in screams from two of the most corrupt USA politicians - Pelosi and Schiff - they lost the kickback benefits they received - so they laid impeachment charges against Trump. The whole process was utter BS and eventually kicked out by the Senate,
After Trump departure the free-for-all system was back in place with a vengeance, In the period February 2022 to September 2022 the US Army provided $40 billion in arms collected from USA bases worldwide to Ukraine. In A Senate hearing in September 2022.the Defense Force General admitted that only 30% of te armaments provided to Ukraine ever reached the fighting army in Eastern Ukraine - the rest ended up in the widespread Armament Black Market, The US Defense Force representative reporting to the Senate stated that the Department has stationed a US Colonel in Kiev to stop the rot, Later on this Colonel was given another 200 soldies to help in carrying out the control over movement of arms to the Ukraine Army fighting the Russians in Eastern Ukraine,
The one uncertainty was whether even under Trump the weapons in fact provided ever reached the fighting Army in Eastern Ukraine, Of the money transferred to Ukraine half of the $1 billion grant went to a Ukraine arms prodicer firm oned by Stefanek, Since 2016 the other half of the $1 billion went crazy as well, Part of it was used to build a new bio-lab to replace the gain of function research at that stage conducted af the Wuhan Lab could be moved to Ukraine where the USA had motre direct control over the research system. That new bio-lab was constructed in Odessa and started operations in 2018. When Trump in 2020 found out about the role the Wuhan Lab research played in the Covid pandemic he fired Faucci as his pandemic advisor and stopped the transfers of money to the Wuhan Lab. Nobody at the time was aware of the bio-lab situation in Ukraine until a hearing of the Senate duing which the Deputy Secretary of State - who resigned in January 2024 - admitted that there were bio-labs in Ukraine after the Bden Administration lied about the existence of bio-labs in Ukraine. When the Russians informed the Security Council of the existence of bio-labs in 2022 the lie was circulated by the State Department that there are Soviet era biolabs the US Government are helping the Ukraine Government in closing down - utter BS since there were the new bio-lab constructed in Odessa, and no biolabs were in fact closed since 2014 and the part of the USA in the research was that if the Russian army threaten the bio-labs the staff must destroy the pathogens - in acordance too specific USA instructions to the bio-lab staff in written instructions to each Ukraine bio-lab. Of the 27 biolabs in existence 3 was occupied by Russian soldiers. In one case the pathogens was not destroyed and after testing it was found they were 10 times more dangerous than the Wuhan Lab ever produced,
Now back to Stepanek - he registered a subsidiary company in the USA and on the Board of that subsidiaruy subsidiary were two staff members employed by Schiff. Up to 2014 Schiff re-election funding came from George Soros - in 2016 and subsequent elections Schiff election campaigns were funded by Stepanek using the subsidiary company for that purpose, When money was in fact provided and reached the Stepanek company the kickbacks to Pelosi and Schiff went through the USA subsidiary company owned by Stepanek. It was not only the Biden's that were involved in the kick-back system, a string of other politicians were involved as well. The kickback system was publicly known - but with Biden in charge the Justice Department and FBI hushed up the evidence and the crooks became protegees of the Justice Department and the FBI. No wonder Biden gave fake pardons to his family members and include Schff in those,
No woder - the Demcorats screamed blue murder when Trump nominated Bondi as US Attorney Generala and Patel as Director of the FBI, The corruption involved is now being investigated and it is only a question of time before arrests are made and charges laid against both politicians and bureaucrats involved,
Now that is real corruption - not the badshit you came up with based on some people that provide no proof of corruption on the part of Trump. If you have any evidence of -potential charges to be laid against Trump - then please provide it.

Least we have brains to begin with...Whoosh!
You may have a brain - but you have zero thinking ability - it was probably destroyed by being brainwashe by the media, So show some thinking ability foe a change.
So back to the topic - the financial mismanagement by the Federal Government became a major problem insofar as the US economy is concerned. Spending money on current expediture by means of raising loans is a mortal situation for any country and the Biden expenditure of $10 trillion using loan financing is a crazy example of wht should not be done by any Government in the world, The sitution if allowed to continue would within the next five years would mean the Federal Government would have to reduce expenditure on any issue by 50% to meet the demands while increasing taxation by at least 100% to even repay the loan and interest.repaments.
That is one of the major problems the US Government caused and that is bound to become worse in future and that is what Trump is trying to get back to reality and not socialist dream world the Democrats wants. ,
