Trump Halts Foreign Aid for 90 Days, Excludes Israel and Egypt
Jan 27, 2025, 03:27 AM
The Trump administration has suspended all foreign aid and ordered a review of American financial assistance to other countries, aligning with its America First agenda. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on January 20, 2025, to halt nearly all existing foreign aid and pause new aid for 90 days. This decision, aimed at ensuring efficiency and consistency with U.S. foreign policy, excludes military assistance to Israel and Egypt, as well as emergency food aid. The State Department and USAID have been instructed to pause new obligations and disbursements of development assistance funds, pending the review. This move has raised concerns among human rights activists, particularly regarding its impact on programs in Iran, where it could restrict access to information and internet freedom.
