The U.S. State Department has unexpectedly directed humanitarian demining organizations to immediately cease operations due to a reassessment of foreign aid policies linked to national security interests. This decision aligns with Secretary of State Marco Rubio's stated goal of refocusing aid to better support U.S. interests, as outlined in President Trump's campaign. The suspension raises concerns about the safety implications of unexploded munitions, which pose significant risks not only abroad but also to U.S. troops, highlighting a troubling disconnect within U.S. policy regarding foreign safety and national interest.
The U.S. State Department has ordered an immediate halt to humanitarian demining operations, citing a re-evaluation of foreign aid policies under the new administration.
According to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the halt in foreign aid is to ensure U.S. foreign policy remains aligned with national interests, as defined by the Trump administration.
