.@POTUS’s foreign-policy agenda begins in our own region. Among his top priorities is securing our borders from mass migration. Diplomacy’s role in this effort is crucial. Read @SecRubio's op-ed in the @WSJ ahead of his trip to the Western Hemisphere: https://t.co/UVmK6c0arr

[Department of State @StateDept]

Our foreign policy must ensure that the Western Hemisphere is strong. @SecRubio explains more in the @WSJ: https://t.co/UVmK6c0arr

[Department of State @StateDept]

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has long strayed from its original mission of responsibly advancing American interests abroad, and it is now abundantly clear that significant portions of USAID funding are not aligned with the core national interests of the United States.

As an interim step toward gaining control and better understanding over the agency’s activity, President Donald J. Trump appointed Secretary Marco Rubio as Acting Administrator.

Secretary Rubio has also now notified Congress that a review of USAID’s foreign assistance activities is underway with an eye towards potential reorganization.

As we evaluate USAID and ensure it is in alignment with an America First agenda and the efforts of the State Department, we will continue to protect the American people’s interests and ensure their tax dollars are not wasted.
