Most employees of the US Agency for International Development will be placed on administrative leave starting Friday.
People in “mission critical” and “core leadership” roles will be exempted, according to a statement posted on USAID’s website on Tuesday. Staff members stationed overseas must return within 30 days, with exceptions to be considered on a “case by case” basis, it said.
