The streamlining is reportedly being contemplated with the notion that the USAID is to be integrated into the State Department. White House officials were said on Monday to announce how President Trump planned to make an official request to Congress very soon concerning merging USAID because of the organisation’s largest singularity of single foreign aid in the entire globe.
He says that the measure aims to slim down the size of the agency and align the spending with what the president cares about. Aside from the merging, Elon Musk, the Tesla chief executive officer, has been entrusted with USAID’s reshuffling to increase its efficiency. A White House official said Musk, a trusted confidant of Trump, would spearhead the changes for USAID.
This would appear to reflect ongoing efforts by the Trump administration to reorganize the federal government and cut what the president believes make up unnecessary expenses. The USAID consolidation into the State Department is part of the larger scheme in the “America First” agenda, downsizing the federal bureaucracy, and rebalancing spending at the governmental level in accordance with the objectives of the politics and the budget.
