The signed order states that “the foreign aid industry and bureaucracy do not serve American interests and, in many cases, are contrary to American values.”
US President Donald Trump signed a decree suspending all foreign financial assistance programs for 90 days. During this period, the compliance of these programs with the political objectives of the state will be evaluated. It was reported by the Associated Press (AP).
How much aid this decree will cut is unknown, as funding for many programs has already been approved by Congress and must be appropriated if the funding is not to be lost.
The signed order states that “the foreign aid industry and bureaucracy do not serve American interests and, in many cases, are contrary to American values.”
It was noted that it “serves to destabilize world peace by promoting in foreign countries ideas that are directly opposed to orderly and stable relations within and between nations.”
Trump said that “no foreign aid coming from the United States will be given in a way that is not fully consistent with the foreign policy of the President of the United States.”
Let’s remember that on the first day of his tenure as US President, Donald Trump announced the withdrawal of the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO).
