President Donald Trump signed an executive order suspending U.S. foreign aid for 90 days to review its alignment with his policy goals.
The order critiques foreign assistance as misaligned with American values and destabilizing global peace. Programs will resume only if deemed to enhance U.S. safety, strength, or prosperity.
The review, led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, could impact non-treaty aid, including funding for U.N. agencies and other programs. Long-term commitments to allies like Israel and Jordan are expected to remain intact.
Trump’s move follows his long-standing criticism of foreign aid, particularly regarding Ukraine’s defense funding.
