NY Post politics reporter Ryan King shares this story.
Rubio, 53, announced the overhaul from his personal account on X, saying that 5,200 contracts that “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” had been voided.
Last month, the Trump administration claimed in court documents that 5,800 of 6,200 multiyear USAID contracts — more than 93% — were on their way out, along with 4,100 of 9,100 State Department grants for a total savings of $58.4 billion.
