The US Agency for International Development (USAID) has officially closed its doors after President Donald Trump gradually dismantled the agency over its allegedly wasteful spending. More than 80% of all the agency's programmes were cancelled as of March, and on Tuesday the remainder were formally absorbed by the state department.

In a rare moment of public unity, Barack Obama and George W. Bush condemned Trump for shutting down USAID. The closure ends a bipartisan legacy of providing lifesaving aid, leaving millions without vital medicine and support.
