USAID denies reports of transfer to State Department

At USAID, officials denied reports of a possible transfer of the agency to the State Department at the initiative of Donald Trump.

As stated by the organisation, USAID retains its independent status, although it interacts with the State Department, receiving general political directives from it. However, the State Department does not interfere in the agency's operational activities, which involve a staff of over 9,000 employees and cover more than 100 countries.
