In an appearance on Fox News tonight, Secretary of State Marco Rubio explained why they had to shut down USAID, a decision that has sparked significant outrage among Democrats in Congress.
According to Rubio, the plan to reform USAID had been in the works for some time, but the decision was made to take drastic action due to "rank insubordination" within the agency. Rubio emphasized that USAID officials were being completely uncooperative, forcing the administration to intervene to bring the agency under control.
Despite the shutdown, Rubio assured that foreign aid, a core function of USAID, would continue. However, the specifics of whether this assistance will be distributed through a reformed USAID or another department, such as the State Department, have yet to be determined.
