Secretary of State Marco Rubio just deemed that only 294 USAID staffers are necessary out of 14,000.

The entire agency will be imminently reduced from 14,000 to 294 employees.

This has to be the biggest mass firing yet.

Trump admin slashes USAID’s 10,000-people workforce to less than 300: reports

By Victor Nava, NY Post, February 5, 2025:

The Trump administration cut the US Agency for International Development’s workforce to the bone Thursday, reducing the embattled agency’s global staff from 10,000 people down to less than 300.

The massive reduction, reported by the New York Times and Reuters, comes one day after USAID announced on its website that it would recall all foreign-based personnel and place all staffers except those deemed responsible for “mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs” on administrative leave by late Friday night.

USAID, which the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has targeted as a prime example of taxpayer-funded waste, will only retain a combined 294 staffers in Washington and its worldwide outposts, including 12 employees in its Africa bureau and eight in its Asia bureau, according to Reuters.
