The Trump administration's recent memo on foreign aid halts all new funding and applications, except for military aid to Israel and Egypt, as well as emergency food assistance. This action has raised alarms among global aid organizations, which rely on U.S. support for various humanitarian programs. Simultaneously, the Pentagon has received the go-ahead to ship MK-84 bombs to Israel, despite previous hesitations from President Biden regarding their use in Gaza. The memo outlines that no new aid can be designated during a 90-day reassessment period, affecting numerous international projects.
