State Department to Recall USAID Staff From Abroad

The State Department has started working to recall all U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) employees who are abroad on foreign assignments, ABC News reported Tuesday, citing multiple sources.

According to CBS News, all USAID overseas missions were told to shut down and all staff members are being recalled by Friday. “New USAID Deputy Admin Peter Marocco told State Dept leadership today if they didn’t do it they’d be evacuated by the military, per sources,” CBS White House reporter Sara Cook wrote in a post on X.

On Monday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio was made acting administrator of USAID, as President Donald Trump and his team explore folding the agency into the State Department as part of a larger plan to shrink the size of the federal government, a senior White House official told Reuters.
