Forced leaves start for thousands at USAID under a Trump plan to gut the foreign aid agency
Forced leaves began in Washington and worldwide Friday for most employees of the U.S. Agency for International Development, as federal workers associations turned to the courts to try to roll back Trump administration orders that have dismantled most of the agency and U.S.- funded aid programs around the world. Under a Trump administration plan, the agency is to be left with fewer than 300 workers out of thousands. Two current USAID employees and one former senior USAID official told The Associated Press of the administration's plan, presented to remaining senior officials of the agency Thursday.

The Latest: US allies in Europe join ICC against Trump's sanctions over Israel
The International Criminal Court on Friday called on its member states to stand up against sanctions imposed by President Donald Trump, saying that the move was an attempt to “harm its independent and impartial judicial work.” Neither nation recognizes the court, which has issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for alleged war crimes over his military response in Gaza following the Hamas attack against Israel in October 2023.

President Donald Trump has expressed skepticism for backing Ukraine, criticizing its President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and saying last month that his administration had already held “ very serious” discussions with Russia about ending the conflict.
