(UPDATE) WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump's administration presented on Thursday a plan to dramatically slash staffing worldwide for American aid projects as part of its dismantling of the United States Agency for International Development (USAid), leaving fewer than 300 employees out of thousands.
This came as federal workers' associations filed a suit asking a federal court to stop the shutdown, arguing that Trump lacks the authority to shut down an agency enshrined in congressional legislation.
