After a 6 week review we are officially cancelling 83% of the programs at USAID.

The 5200 contracts that are now cancelled spent tens of billions of dollars in ways that did not serve, (and in some cases even harmed), the core national interests of the United States.

In a dramatic shift in U.S. foreign aid strategy, the Agency for International Development (USAID) announced the cancellation of 83% of its programs following a comprehensive six-week review. This decision affects approximately 5,200 contracts, which have collectively poured tens of billions of dollars into initiatives deemed ineffective or counterproductive to American interests.

The announcement, which underscores a growing demand for accountability in government spending, signals a reevaluation of how U.S. foreign aid is allocated. Critics of the previous approach have long argued that many programs failed to deliver tangible benefits and, in some cases, may have even exacerbated the very issues they aimed to address.

USAID’s leadership emphasized the need to prioritize initiatives that directly align with U.S. national interests, aiming for a more strategic and impactful use of taxpayer dollars. The move has sparked discussions about the future of foreign aid and the need for a more results-oriented approach in international development efforts.
