The Administrator of the Agency for International Development, appointed pursuant to section 2384(a) of this title, shall report to and be under the direct authority and foreign policy guidance of the Secretary of State.
By U.S. Code, USAID is under the direct foreign policy guidance of the Secretary of State, and therefore, the President of the United States. Secretary of State Rubio previously terminated the Administrator of USAID and declared himself to be the Acting Administrator.
President Trump just has to say that the current spending is not aligned with his "foreign policy" and is suspending all aid until he can issue new foreign policy guidance to USAID.
