In February, the Office of Management and Budget directed federal agencies to implement the "America First" foreign policy, prompting audits of foreign assistance projects to ensure they benefit U.S. interests. This directive underscores a significant pivot away from global involvement, as seen with the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. and reduced participation in international organizations. Despite these changes, some domestic agencies like the Department of Labor continue to fund initiatives addressing migrant labor rights and human trafficking, illustrating that not all international work has ceased under this new focus on domestic priorities.
The Office of Management and Budget mandated federal entities to align with the "America First" policy, requiring audits for foreign programs not promoting U.S. prosperity.
U.S.A.I.D. is being dismantled, while the State Department prioritizes deportations over diplomacy, although some international efforts continue through domestic-focused agencies.
