President Donald Trump's administration is reportedly planning to reduce the jobs at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) from more than 10,000 to just under 300, the New York Times reported Thursday.

The news comes as the government was considering fully ending the program, after a review of its finances found that the agency regularly routed funding to liberal causes aligned with George Soros’ nonprofit empire, terrorists and drag queens.

The Trump administration also identified USAID programs ranging from contraceptives for Afghanistan to LGBT diversity programs for European countries, which it cited as clear evidence that foreign aid needed to be paused and reevaluated.

Sources told the New York Times on Thursday that the jobs remaining will include employees who specialize in health and humanitarian assistance. Officials were also told that approximately 800 awards and contracts administered through the agency were being canceled.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, whose department took over the agency on Monday, said that some of the terminations were because of insubordination within the agency's ranks.

“We’re not trying to be disruptive to people’s personal lives,” he told reporters Thursday, while traveling in the Dominican Republic. “We’re not being punitive here. But this is the only way we’ve been able to get cooperation from USAID."
