Foreign Service officers and USAID employees face major disruption. USAID staff could see their agency abolished, with functions transferred to the State Department, potentially leading to job losses, reassignments, or changed roles. All diplomats at foreign posts would also need to pass a mandatory new America First training course to keep working abroad, adding a new gatekeeping requirement to their careers.
“The Secretary of State may reorganize the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) pursuant to a reorganization plan transmitted to Congress, which may provide for the abolition of such agency and the transfer of its functions to the Department of State.”
Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
