The administration of US President Donald Trump has sent most of the USAID employees on leave and fired many of them from their jobs.

4,200 employees of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) have been sent on leave. In addition, 1,600 employees have been fired from their jobs. Out of which, it is not clear how many employees will be called back to work. 

The Trump administration is trying to cut the number of federal employees under Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DAZ) plan. 

A federal judge in America blocked this plan of the Trump administration. But on Friday, it was also said that this ban will not be permanent. 

USAID was founded in 1961. In which 10 thousand employees were employed.
