The Trump administration said on Sunday that it is cutting 2,000 U.S.-based positions at the U.S. Agency for International Development, while also putting a majority of global employees at the agency on leave.

The Trump administration has informed U.S. Agency for International Development employees that it was firing 2,000 workers and putting most direct hire personnel on administrative leave, according to reports.
