USAID was officially terminated on July 1, 2025 by the second Trump administration.[1] The agency funded projects in 158 countries, and its funding ($42 billion in 2023, $35 billion in 2024) accounted for more than 40% of global humanitarian aid in 2024.[2] USAID's shutdown had immediate negative consequences for health and humanitarian aid around the world—hospitals closed in Myanmar, HIV/AIDS vaccination programs were suspended in Cameroon, and initiatives to address malnutrition were halted in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Nepal.[2] A Lancet study warned that cuts to US foreign aid could cause more than 14 million additional global deaths, including 4.5 million children.[1] The decision drew widespread condemnation, including criticism from former US presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush, who praised the agency.[1]
