Details
The US State Department has issued an order to immediately suspend funding for foreign aid programs for 90 days. The move follows President Donald Trump's order to review the effectiveness of international support in line with his foreign policy goals.
The new rules provide for the suspension of both the allocation of new funds and the implementation of existing agreements. The memorandum, approved by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, directs officials to suspend all programs except those that legitimately require continuation until the review is completed.
The document does not specify which countries or programs fall under the exemptions, except for mentions of military assistance to Israel and Egypt. Other areas remain in a state of uncertainty.
