The State Department has canceled some 83 percent of U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) contracts, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on March 10.

“The 5200 contracts that are now cancelled spent tens of billions of dollars in ways that did not serve, (and in some cases even harmed), the core national interests of the United States,” Rubio said on social media platform X.
