US African Development Foundation staff barred entry to ‘efficiency’ agency, defying Trump’s shutdown order
Members of Elon Musk’s so-called “department of government efficiency” (Doge) unit were barred from entering a US government agency promoting economic development in Africa after a tense standoff with federal staff they had been sent to fire.
Workers at the US African Development Foundation (USADF), which Donald Trump has ordered to be closed, refused to allow Doge operatives to enter after they arrived at its Washington headquarters on Wednesday afternoon.
