Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid

What it means

Orders a 90-day pause on all foreign aid disbursements while programs are reviewed for alignment with U.S. foreign policy priorities. Agencies must evaluate each program's efficiency and policy consistency, with the Secretary of State having final approval authority.

Expected impact

• Temporary disruption in international aid programs as U.S. agencies conduct comprehensive reviews
• Potential realignment of billions in foreign assistance to better match the administration's foreign policy goals
• Increased oversight of non-governmental organizations and international partners receiving U.S. funding
• Some humanitarian programs may continue if granted waivers by the Secretary of State
