Two top security authorities from the US International Agency have been taken on administrative leave. This is the latest of a series of suspensions and Reof of the US government in the US government’s main humanitarian support organizations.
President Trump is considering the dramatic change of USAID. Advisors are considering places that overlap with other institutions, or where their spending is against the president’s stance.
Security USAID Director Vohs and Security Deputy Director Brian McGill have been on vacation on Saturday night, and two sources have been confirmed in CBS News.
The two officials told the two officials that they had moved after two officials had refused to access confidential materials in the restricted area (DOGE). Katie Miller, a spokesman of DOGE, did not respond to the comment request, but re -posted X’s AP article with a comment saying “The classified materials were not accessed without appropriate security clearance.” 。
Vice President JD VANCE is in charge of knowing the next step in USAID reform, according to one person who is familiar with Trump’s decision. VANCE’s spokesman refused to comment.
Mr. Trump returned to Washington DC from Palm Beach, Florida, and told the reporters on Sunday night that USAID was operated by a “extreme madman.”
“We’re out of them,” he said.
The administrative order was not imminent -the authorities said last week, the authorities are still in the planning stage. But the president said he was interested in the reform of the institution.
One option is probably folded in the Ministry of State, but other possibilities are at the table, and the two sources told CBS News.
Republican member Brian Mast, the chairman of the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, provides the director of the Ministry of State, On Sunday, “I faced Margaret Brennan and the people“The USAID is more likely to get involved under Secretary Rubio.” The USAID has already reported to the Secretary of State, but the Trump administration is considering how to combine it or break it into the State Department.
The mast did not explain in detail what specific changes will be made, but has shown that it will start changing through Congress. The USAID was established in 1961 by Congress Law.
“If it is the way we have dropped and the USAID is a different department, I will definitely be the case, and it is the Ministry of State, the other region of the United States, for failure. Mast claims to be in other areas. ” “
CBS Previously reported Pete Marocco, a former Deputy Vice Secretary of Pentagon’s African issue, is the efforts to reconstruct the USAID. Marocco is currently the role of advanced supervision at the Foreign Support Bureau of the Ministry of State, which supervises the Foreign Support Program managed by the Ministry of State and USAID.
Frozen foreign assistance was a promise of Trump Campaign to help you use only your efforts to use the United States’ national security and reduce costs. However, foreign assistance accounts for only 1 % of the federal budget.
US foreign aid organizations rarely carry out the aid program directly, choosing to partner with non -governmental organizations, public international organizations, and sometimes foreign governments, and execute them. The Trump administration’s 90 -day frozen for almost all foreign aid means that these contractors have not already been paid to the ongoing job.
It does not indicate that the freezing of the aid will soon be lifted, but the contractor has attacked and completed a large number of employees.
Aid workers, who have signed a contract around the world, told the CBS that the organization hoped that the government would face a lawsuit from a government that considers violations.
USAID is considered to be influenced by the “awakening” politics of Trump officials
Some officials of the Trump administration are institutions that were excessively affected by the politics of the left wing and “waking up”, created by President John F. Kennedy, created by President John F. Kennedy. I see it. They personally expressed concern that the parliament was not enough.
Part of the administration, including Musk, claims that Trump should completely close USAID. On Sunday, the mask was posted to Social Media Platform X: “USAID is a criminal organization. It’s time to die.”
However, several sources said that all the Trump top advisors did not agree to Musk.
The USAID website is dark, and multiple aid organizations say they are hindered by providing funds to freeze.
The USAID website was offline on Saturday and could not be accessed on Sunday. Dozens of employees of government agencies and public relations bureaus suddenly lost their systems and email access on Saturday night, and three sources told CBS News.
Trump officials want to consider ways to rationalize the program with footprints in multiple government agencies. USAID also has a contract with multiple non -profit organizations to implement a program.
To reconstruct the USAID, the humanitarian support program that performs everything, from the eradication of polio and malaria to the emergency response to natural disasters, and the removal of old US bombs from the battlefield, is already preparing for CBS News. This week, he told CBS NEWS this week.
CBS News is suffering from a contractor for freezing Trump because the contractor has frozen as a front money for the project, and has been applying for a refund from the US government for the project. I talked. As a result, the ordered order ordered by Secretary of State Marco Rubio caused a financial crisis at these international organizations.
TOM HART, President and CEO of Interaction, told CBS News that this change did not lead to funding after Rubio issued some organizations.
“The current reality is a medicine that saves the life expired on the shelf while the child is sick. Food assistance in the warehouse while the family is hungry. This is not just a humanitarian catastrophe. Human dignity.
“This turmoil has maintained a relationship with the community over the past 60 years. The relationship may be difficult for the administration to restore after review,” Heart said.
The Trump administration has confused the operation of an organization that seems to match the first agenda in the United States and hinders the illegal transition to US CBS News, 13 organizations of Elsarvador, Honduras, Mexico, Colombia, and Guatemala. I got the list. The purpose is to counter the factors that promote the transition. In El Salvador, they do not move to the United States in Honduras, as the skill projects for employment can help about 12,000 Salvadors get a job. In Colombia, the response of Venezuela does not illegally move to the United States.
Concerns about Pepfer
Pep fur, another program that is an emergency plan for AIDS rescue, has been exempted to resume specific types of businesses in a wide range of portfolios of AIDS and HIV services. I checked with CBS News on the weekend. Health authorities have shown that they are still waiting for how narrowly the service is defined, including the question of whether or not they include preventive treatment. Former aids have shared concerns that the global health program has not returned, including those to prevent malaria and tuberculosis.
“This is not a pause, but is dismantled,” said the former USAID Global Health Director Atul Gaaw lady. “You can’t stop flights in the air. That’s what they are trying to do.”
The Trump administration stipulates that the review will last 90 days, but has stopped operating from Rubio for many organizations. As the reviews were being held during the review, the real world was immediately confused, such as the destruction of antiviral drugs for HIV -positive individuals, including children.
“There was a release of the approved hold, but the Americans do not fund HIV and AIDS drugs to 20 million in Africa. As in China, like China. Face The Nation was told to confirm that some of the Peppers had resumed. However, he called it “Grift” and questioned his fate.
“It’s an example of them that we think of us,” said the mast. “We need to ask a question. If they have to vice this, should we pay these very expensive HIV and AIDS medicine?”
However, these efforts have been regarded as a kind of “soft power” that wins the United States good intentions in competition over the United States’ national security benefits and the impact on enemies by several presidents. Currently in China, during the Cold War, when the main competition was the Soviet Union, USAID’s efforts were effective in East Europe and other places.
CBS News Reported last week Approximately 450 contractors are fired from the Global Health Bureau and are responsible for the implementation of Pepfar. Despite the exemption of foreign support for the HIV/AIDS program, more federal employees of the Global Health Bureau are concerned about how these programs will be implemented.
