Melania Trump praised U.S. Agency for International Development's work in Africa in 2018 .

President Trump has called USAID a "tremendous fraud" and denigrates the aid agency.

The White House says USAID "funnel massive sums of money to the ridiculous — and, in many cases, malicious — pet projects of entrenched bureaucrats".

In his first days in office, President Trump has made a priority of curbing diversity-related initiatives in government, crystallized in an executive order he signed on his first day of office, taking aim at federal funding for diversity, equity and inclusion ( DEI ) initiatives. The Trump administration said this week that it would place all USAID direct-hire employees on administrative leave starting Friday , except for core leadership and "mission-critical" staff, according to an email sent to employees and a message posted on the agency's website..
