The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is an agency of the United States government that has been responsible for administering civilian foreign aid and development assistance. Established in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy to unite several foreign assistance organizations and programs under one agency, statute law places USAID under "the direct authority and policy guidance of the Secretary of State". The Trump administration is attempting to shut it down, pending court cases and approval by Congress. The Trump administration plans to transfer some, but not all, of USAID's functions to the State Department by July 1, 2025.
