The bill was officially filed and given a number. It now enters the legislative queue.
A federal judge refused to grant a temporary restraining order to reinstate the USADF president, marking a victory for the Trump administration's efforts to streamline foreign aid. The case highlights the legal struggle over the president's power to fire independent board members.
President Trump signed an executive order targeting the USADF and other 'unnecessary' entities for elimination to reduce government waste. The order directs agencies to reduce staff to the minimum required by law and reject funding requests inconsistent with the reduction goals.
Despite ongoing litigation, the administration has moved to cancel hundreds of USADF grants. The agency, which supports small-scale agricultural and energy projects in Africa, is at the center of a broader effort to fold foreign assistance functions into the State Department.
