Closure of USAID Operations in Cyprus: Uncertainty for Employees
February 13, 2025
The Trump administration is closing the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), causing uncertainty for employees in Cyprus and elsewhere. USAID staff in Cyprus have been placed on administrative leave and are asked to return to the U.S. This return is expected to come with significant financial costs. Experts are urging other countries to step in with funding to mitigate the upheaval caused by the reduction of U.S. foreign aid.
