The Wall Street Journal published on 13 April 2025 an article titled "Trump Official Who Oversaw Closure of USAID Has Left State Department" by Brian Schwartz and Alexander Ward.
Pete Marocco, the Trump administration official at the State Department in charge of destroying USAID, has been asked to leave, apparently following disagreements with Secretary of State Marco Rubio over the future of USAID. It is not clear if Marocco is leaving the administration entirely or will serve in a different position.
