U.S. Foreign Aid Freeze Sparks Global Concern

 

In a sweeping move, the U.S. State Department has issued a broad freeze on foreign aid following an executive order from President Donald Trump. The order, which mandates a 90-day pause in foreign development assistance, aims to review the efficiency and alignment of aid with Trump's foreign policy.

The review is expected to be completed within 85 days, after which decisions will be made on whether to continue, modify, or terminate existing programs.
