USAID Suspends Aid to Bangladesh's Yunus-Led Interim Government on Trump's Order
Jan 26, 2025, 09:58 AM
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has suspended all aid and activities in Bangladesh following an executive order from President Donald Trump. This decision impacts all contracts, grants, and assistance programs currently in operation in the country, affecting the Yunus-led interim government. The suspension marks a significant move by the Trump administration, especially considering that in FY23 alone, the US provided $72 billion in aid, making it the largest single donor at that time. This action impacts various sectors including health, education, agriculture, and economic reform where USAID had been providing substantial support.
