The President of the United States Donald Trump " The head of state strives to either deprive the USAID of independence and transfer it to the control of the State Department, or even close it.

This, according to Politico, is now being discussed surrounded by the newly elected president of the United States. The facts of discussions of the agency’s transfer to subordination to the State Department were confirmed by two officials from the Trump administration. Five more sources from the president’s entourage “do not know specific plans, but USAID independence is definitely not guaranteed”.

One of the sources of the publication claims that the issue of submission to the USAID was already discussed at a meeting of the National Security Council. But the final decision has not yet been made.

" The goal is to promote American interests, my colleagues-republicans say. But they are not able to explain what this will lead to, except for a shot in their leg, ”the Gregory Mix quotes the publication of the word of the congressman.

This is a “shot in your own leg”, as the legislator explained, because Trump, including the president himself, constantly talk about the need to compete with China and his global investments.

Among the blocked programs are non -person assistance to Ukraine, which also went through USAID. President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky has already instructed to find internal reserves and attract European partners to compensate for the stop of financing critical projects.
