Trump Suspends U.S. Foreign Aid for 90 Days, Impacting PEPFAR in Kenya
Jan 28, 2025, 03:38 AM
President Donald Trump has issued an executive order suspending U.S. foreign aid to all countries for 90 days, with exceptions for military assistance to Israel and Egypt. This decision, part of Trump's 'America First' policy, has been implemented by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who has ordered a review of all foreign assistance programs to ensure they align with U.S. foreign policy objectives. The suspension affects various programs, including the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) in Kenya, which has been credited with saving millions of lives globally. The pause in funding has raised concerns about the disruption of ongoing health and humanitarian initiatives.
