The Trump administration said on Sunday that it is eliminating about 1,600 U.S.-based jobs at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) as it continues its push to drastically curtail the scope of the organization.

The agency said as of 11:59 pm ET on Sunday, all “direct hire personnel” would be placed on administrative lead globally, with the exception of “designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership,” and those in charge of a few specific programs. At the same time, USAID said that it was cutting around 1,600 positions inside the United States.
