In a sweeping move, the US government has announced a freeze on nearly all foreign aid pending a review process initiated by the Trump administration. This major action includes the suspension of funds for vital programs, such as those addressing HIV/AIDS. Despite the halt, military assistance to Ukraine is reportedly unaffected, as confirmed by President Zelenskyy. Notably, aid directed towards Israel and Egypt remains exempt from this freeze. Lawmakers, including House Democrats and Senator Marco Rubio, are urging the administration to reconsider the implications of this decision on global relations and humanitarian efforts. The freeze is set to last for 90 days, prompting concerns from various aid groups about the potential fallout from this significant policy shift.
