Original Note:
The President cannot abolish USAID without Congress, but it's not illegal for him to restructure, downsize, or repurpose it. He has broad authority to shift functions, cut funding, or reorganize the agency, significantly altering its role—even without formally eliminating it. https://www.nteu.org/legislative-action/congressional-testimony/what-authority-the-president-should-have#:~:text=The%20President%2C%20as%20chief%20executive,the%20Executive%20Branch%20of%20government.
