US President Donald Trump's administration has announced the closure of the US Agency for International Development (USAID). Elon Musk, the director of the US Department of Government Efficiency, has announced that he and President Trump are going to close USAID.

Speaking in a live session hosted by his social network X on Monday, Musk said he had a detailed conversation with the president about closing USAID. "The president agrees that we should shut it down," Musk said.

Musk claims that USAID is beyond repair. "It's become clear that it's not just an apple with a bug, it's just a apple with a bug," Musk said. "We have to get rid of the whole thing." It is beyond repair. We are closing it. We are in the process of closing USAID.'

Along with Musk's announcement, USAID employees have been instructed not to enter the headquarters in Washington. Along with that, 600 employees were blocked from accessing USAID's computer system, according to the AP news agency. Employees who still have access to the computer system were sent an email on February 3 stating that the headquarters building will be closed to USAID employees.

Similarly, USAID's website has also been taken offline. Browsing Niyog's domain shows a notice saying 'This site can't be reached'. Reuters reports that hundreds of employees have been furloughed. Sixty senior USAID officials were placed on leave last week for allegedly trying to ignore Trump's executive order to freeze foreign aid.

USAID's two top security chiefs last week denied access to classified information to Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staff.

USAID is a criminal organization. It's time to die,” Musk said in response to a USAID news post on Sunday. USAID Security Director John Voorhees and Deputy Director Brian McGill have since been placed on leave. Members of Musk's Department of Government Efficiency then reportedly gained access to classified USAID information on Saturday.

CNN reported that DOGE employees entered sensitive USAID locations without permission and collected confidential information from citizens. But Kate Miller, a member of the DOGE's advisory committee, has claimed that no unauthorized access to confidential material has taken place.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that USAID has been brought under the State Department and that he is acting administrator. The Trump administration has announced that USAID's workforce will be drastically cut and it will remain a humanitarian aid agency.

According to CNN, Rubio said in a letter to lawmakers on Monday that Pete Marocco was given the authority to act as acting administrator. Currently, he is in charge of the foreign aid chief of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He worked at USAID during Trump's previous term. Earlier, DOGE had also accessed various information of the Ministry of Finance. A senior ministry official resigned after being angered by access to sensitive information, including the Social Security and Medicare customer payment systems.

President Trump created DOGE for Musk with the goal of finding ways to lay off federal workers, cut various programs and reduce federal regulations. Musk's recent activities have challenged the constitutional right of Parliament to decide where and how to spend the budget. Musk has not mentioned anything about the legal right to close federal agencies without parliamentary approval. He also did not reveal when USAID will be completely closed.

Although Musk has claimed that closing USAID has been discussed several times and that he has full support with President Trump, the White House has not given any official information. President Trump only said on Sunday that Musk was "doing a great job." He claimed that USAID was run by a group of eccentrics. "USAID is run by a bunch of radical freaks. We're getting them out,'' Trump told reporters Sunday night about USAID.

On January 20, President Trump signed an executive order to stop foreign aid given by the United States. According to the executive order titled "Review and Realignment of Foreign Assistance", the US has suspended foreign development assistance programs for 90 days.

With Trump's order, Secretary of State Marco Rubio instructed subordinate agencies to suspend foreign aid and new grant distribution. "Until the review and approval of the proposed new aid or the existing grant, no new fund shall be committed for the extension of the existing grant or the new grant," the instructions given to the employees under the ministry state.

According to the instructions issued by Secretary of State Rubio, there will be a comprehensive review of foreign aid. He says that American spending abroad should be ensured to make America "stronger, safer or more prosperous". Rubio also said it was inevitable to end USAID's humanitarian, development, and security programs. But some politicians have opposed the move to close USAID. Senator Elizabeth Warren strongly criticized the Trump administration, saying that Trump has done a very dangerous thing by "allowing DOGE access to classified government information."

USAID, founded by American President John F. Kennedy on November 3, 1961, has been working in more than 176 countries. It has been working especially in the fields of global development, humanitarian aid and promotion of democratic governance. The US has been cooperating with the world community for the fulfillment of national security interests through the Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and USAID under the title of 'Three D' ie Defense (Defence), Diplomacy (Diplomacy) and Development (Development).

In 2023, the United States provided 68 billion US dollars worth of financial assistance to 176 countries through USAID. According to Foreign Assistance.gov, 88 percent of that amount was financial aid and 12 percent was military aid. Ukraine, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Ethiopia, Somalia, Nigeria, Congo, Afghanistan and Kenya are the top 10 recipients of USAID grants.

America has been providing significant financial support to Nepal through USAID. Nepal is on the 16th position on the basis of grants. A five-year strategy agreement has been reached between the Ministry of Finance and USAID regarding the use of American assistance. The last agreement was signed on May 15, 2022 for a grant of 659 million US dollars for 5 years. According to the International Financial Aid Coordination Division of the Ministry of Finance, the US grant is being used in Nepal in the fields of good governance, human development, disaster protection and preparedness, infrastructure construction, and education.

Under the health and population sector, American grants are also being used in areas such as maternal and child health and family planning, HIV AIDS, water supply and sanitation, and basic health. American grants are also being spent in areas such as financial reform and administration reform of the country. A large amount of US aid is being used in agricultural policy and administration management towards the agricultural sector.

Trump has prioritized immigration and foreign policy along with foreign aid since assuming the presidency. Earlier, he announced additional tariffs on goods entering the US from Canada, Mexico, China. He announced a 25/25 percent import tax on imports from Canada and Mexico and a 10 percent import tax on imports from China. The tax imposed on Chinese goods has already been implemented. In response, China has also announced tariffs on some US goods. China has imposed 15 percent tariffs on U.S. coal and liquefied natural gas, and 10 percent on crude oil, agricultural machinery, pickup trucks and some sports cars.

Trump claims he is using emergency economic powers because of the threat of illegal immigration and deadly drugs. He accused China of allowing fentanyl to be used and Mexico and Canada allowing illegal immigrants to cross the border. After Trump's move to impose tariffs, China responded that no one wins a trade war. Beijing says the US move will damage normal economic and trade cooperation between the two countries. China says that the US should correct its "erroneous concept" and solve the problem with the Chinese side on the basis of "equality, mutual benefit and mutual respect".

The announced 25 percent tax on similar imports from Canada and Mexico has been suspended for now. The Trump administration said the negotiations with Canada and Mexico have been postponed for a month. In a telephone conversation with Trump, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau agreed to tighten the border with the United States to control immigration and stop the smuggling of fentanyl (drug), according to the BBC. Trump said he was satisfied with the preliminary results.

Prime Minister Trudeau has announced the deployment of helicopters, technology and manpower with an additional 1.3 billion dollars as part of his border plan. He said that more resources will be used to prevent the entry of fentanyl into the United States. Similarly, President Trump had a telephone conversation with Mexican President Claudia Seinbaum. After Seinbaum said he would deploy an additional 10,000 troops to the northern border, Trump said he postponed the tax announcement for a month. In return, Trump has promised to limit the flow of guns to Mexico.

After Trump's announcement, both Canada and Mexico said they would impose tariffs on American goods. Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau announced a 25 percent tariff on imports worth $155 billion produced in the United States. Trudeau said he would impose taxes on goods such as beer, wine, vegetables, fruit and juice, clothing, and shoes produced in the United States. Similarly, he announced new taxes in areas such as furniture and sporting goods, minerals, contracts.

Likewise, the province of Ontario, which contributes about 38 percent of Canada's GDP, has banned American companies. Ontario Premier Doug Ford has said U.S. companies will be barred from territorial deals unless the Trump administration reverses the decision. He warned that Elon Musk's satellite company Starlink, which provides fast internet worldwide, will also be banned. Likewise, Mexico also said it would impose tariffs on American goods.

Mexico's President Seinbaum said that the American decision was an "insult to the Mexican government" and announced the same tax on American goods. Last year, imports from China, Mexico and Canada accounted for more than 40 percent of U.S. imports.

Trump has said that he will also impose taxes on goods imported from European countries. "The Europeans are really benefiting. We have a trade deficit of over $3 billion," Trump said. "They don't take our cars. They do not take our agricultural products. And, we take millions of cars, food and agricultural products. Trump said that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is very good and will move forward together.

Along with Trump's statement, French President Emmanuel Macron has said that he will respond if the commercial interests of the European Union are attacked. He says that the American warning has forced Europe to become stronger and more united. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk also emphasized the importance of European unity and said he would be ready to take any measures to avoid an unnecessary and senseless tax war. After Trump's warning, Panama will not renew China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) agreement.

The President of Panama, Jose Raul Mulino, has announced that he will withdraw from the BRI after a meeting with US Secretary of State Rubio. It will also become the first Latin American country to withdraw from Chinese infrastructure initiatives.

Mulino stated that although preparations are being made to renew the contract within the next one/two years, there is a possibility of canceling it already. 'We will study it on the possibility of this sooner, "he said. Pana participated in BRI in 2017.
