“Trump Administration Official to Brief Congress on USAID, Sources Say”

SUMMARY:

Pete Marocco, the deputy administrator-designate at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), is set to meet with members of Congress on March 5 to discuss U.S. foreign assistance. During the “round table” with the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Marocco will update lawmakers on the Trump administration’s review and reorganization of foreign aid. Since January, thousands of USAID staff have been put on leave, and contractors terminated as part of the administration’s efforts to reduce the federal government, led by Trump adviser Elon Musk.

Some Democrats and a few Republicans have expressed concerns that cuts to foreign aid could result in widespread hunger, illness, and death globally, while also reducing U.S. influence. Critics argue that the administration’s actions, including freezing aid and cutting USAID, are illegal without proper congressional notification and consultation, with lawsuits related to these issues currently in the courts.
