DOGE v. USAID

🔴 UPDATE: February 27, 2025

Marco Rubio Cancels Nearly 10,000 Foreign Aid Contracts, Including 5,800 USAID Programs for TB & Malaria

In a devastating escalation of DOGE’s war on humanitarian aid, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced the termination of nearly 10,000 foreign aid contracts, with 5,800 of them directly impacting USAID programs, including critical efforts to combat tuberculosis (TB), malaria, and HIV/AIDS. This sweeping move follows a Trump administration directive to slash U.S. foreign assistance under the guise of an “America First” realignment.

🚨 Key Developments:

• Mass Contract Terminations Across Federal Aid Programs – The State Department has canceled nearly 10,000 international assistance agreements, affecting USAID, the State Department’s Bureau of Global Health, and humanitarian programs tied to the CDC.

• TB, Malaria, and HIV/AIDS Programs in Crisis – USAID’s life-saving programs in Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia have been abruptly defunded, putting millions at risk of losing access to vital medications and treatments.

• Aid Agencies Blindsided, Warn of Looming Public Health Catastrophe – Organizations that rely on USAID funding to distribute vaccines, monitor outbreaks, and provide emergency relief are now scrambling for alternatives to keep operations afloat.

🔍 Consequences:

• Spike in Preventable Deaths – Health experts warn that halting TB and malaria programs could erase decades of progress, allowing disease transmission to skyrocket in some of the world’s most vulnerable regions.

• Global Fallout for U.S. Influence – By abandoning international aid commitments, the U.S. risks ceding influence to geopolitical rivals like China and Russia, who are rapidly expanding their own foreign assistance programs.

• More Cuts Likely to Follow – With DOGE aggressively dismantling federal agencies, this may only be the beginning of more humanitarian program eliminations, threatening disaster relief, food security, and refugee aid.
