BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 2. The official
website of the United States Agency for International Development
(USAID) is currently down, coinciding with reports that the Donald
Trump administration is considering transferring the agency under
the control of the State Department, Trend reported on Sunday.
When attempting to access the site, users were met with a
message saying, “This site can’t be reached.”
Earlier reports indicated that the Trump administration was
exploring the possibility of removing USAID’s independent status
and integrating it into the State Department’s structure. If
implemented, this move would diminish the agency’s autonomy in
managing international aid programs.
