This is a historic day for American foreign policy. USAID viewed itself as serving the int’l humanitarian community—not the American people or taxpayers. Its failed model resulted in waste, dependency & the erosion of US global influence.
That ends today. Under @POTUS and @SecRubio’s leadership, @StateDept’s America First foreign assistance will be rigorously calibrated to advance US interests, save lives, invest in allies, and foster new trade partnerships. It will counter China and herald a new era of US-led peace, security & prosperity.

The era of government-sanctioned inefficiency is OVER.
From now on, our foreign assistance programs will be accountable to the American taxpayer.
