CNN reports that the main office of USAID in Washington, D.C. has been closed.

On February 3, the USAID headquarters in Washington was closed, and employees were instructed via email to stay home.

This was reported by CNN.

“The USAID headquarters in Washington was shut down today, and employees were ordered in an email to remain at home. Logos and photos depicting aid efforts were removed from the walls of the building,” the publication states.

It is noted that the main USAID website and the agency's social media pages have ceased operations.

The U.S. Agency for International Development has become one of the primary targets for budget cuts as part of the new administration's efforts to reduce the federal budget. Trump and his allies have claimed that this independent agency created by Congress is actually a politically biased entity that allegedly supports Democrats. There are speculations that Trump may decide to eliminate the agency, transferring its functions to the U.S. Department of State.

Background. Musk stated that the U.S. is closing the USAID program. “It is irreparable,” Musk said, adding that President Trump agrees that the program should be shut down.
