"And just like Elon Musk did not create USAID, he doesn't have the power to destroy it. And who's going to stop him? We are."

"Trump cannot eliminate USAID with the stroke of a pen."

Elon Musk "doesn't get to shut down the Agency for International Development."

"The President does not have the authority to eliminate statutorily authorized agencies [like USAID]."

"The Trump administration may now be backing down [from abolishing USAID]."

"800 people work for USAID's Global Health, 400 have been terminated. It's not legal. It's an unlawful shutdown, purge and dismantling of the agency."

“USAID may move, reorganize, and integrate certain missions, bureaus, and offices into the Department of State, and the remainder of the Agency may be abolished consistent with applicable law."

"We're shutting it [USAID] down."

"CLOSE IT [USAID] DOWN!"

Will USAID Shut Down?

The United States pledged $2 billion for UN humanitarian aid on Monday, a significant reduction from previous contributions that reached as high as $17 billion annually in recent years. The funding will be administered through the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

The agreement establishes a new funding model requiring the UN to consolidate humanitarian functions and reduce bureaucratic overhead. Seventeen countries will initially receive assistance, including Ukraine, Syria, Haiti, Sudan and Democratic Republic of Congo.

Afghanistan, Yemen and Gaza are not included in the initial funding package. State Department officials stated that Gaza will be addressed through a separate track related to President Trump's peace plan, while concerns exist about fund diversion in Afghanistan.

UN data shows total US humanitarian contributions fell to approximately $3.38 billion in 2025, representing about 14.8% of global funding. This marked a sharp decline from $14.1 billion in the prior year and a peak of $17.2 billion in 2022.

The UN launched a 2026 aid appeal for $23 billion to reach 87 million people, half the $47 billion sought for 2025. UN aid chief Tom Fletcher said funding cuts in 2025 resulted in humanitarians reaching 25 million fewer people than in 2024.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated the new model aims to share the burden of UN humanitarian work with other developed countries and require the UN to cut bloat and remove duplication. The State Department said individual UN agencies will need to adapt, shrink or die.
