US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has taken over as head of the US Agency for International Development, USAID. This is the latest evidence that the Trump administration is moving to dismantle the foreign aid agency and place it under the control of the State Department, A2 CNN reports.
Speaking in El Salvador, during his tour of several Latin American countries, Rubio told a reporter: "I am the acting director of USAID." He went on to say that the organization has failed to advance US national interests and accused it of considering itself "some kind of global charity."
But he stopped short of saying the Trump administration would eliminate the agency, saying "this has nothing to do with ending USAID." (A2 Televizion)
