All overseas offices of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) have been ordered to shut down, with all staff to be recalled by Friday, CBS News reported, citing sources. The agency's newly appointed deputy administrator Pete Marocco met with State Department officials on Tuesday and ordered every USAID employee to be withdrawn from their respective countries around the world by Friday, the report said. Marocco reportedly added that if the State Department refuses to recall the USAID staff, the US military will evacuate them. US billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, who leads the consultative Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), said that US President Trump had agreed to shut down USAID. He referred to the agency as a "criminal organization" that "needs to die."

USAID Overseas Offices Ordered to Shut Down, Staff to Be Withdrawn by Friday, Reports Say
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - US President Donald Trump appointed Secretary of State Marco Rubio as acting head of USAID on Monday. Rubio notified Congress that a review of USAID’s foreign assistance activities was underway with an eye toward a potential reorganization.
All overseas offices of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) have been ordered to shut down, with all staff
to be recalled by Friday, CBS News reported, citing sources.
The agency's newly appointed deputy administrator Pete Marocco met with State Department officials on Tuesday and ordered every USAID employee to be withdrawn from their respective countries around the world by Friday, the report said.
Marocco reportedly added that if the State Department refuses to recall the USAID staff, the US military will evacuate them.
US billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, who leads the consultative Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), said that US President Trump had agreed to
shut down USAID. He referred to the agency as a "criminal organization" that "needs to die."
