State Department freezes new funding for nearly all US aid programs worldwide

The State Department has frozen nearly all foreign aid programs worldwide for 90 days after President Donald Trump signed an executive order to realign spending with American interests.
The order pauses new obligations and disbursements of foreign development assistance and will review programs to decide on their future.
The directive allows waivers for emergency food assistance and military financing for Israel and Egypt, but does not mention other countries like Ukraine.
Humanitarian officials express concern that the freeze could harm global needs, stating that the pause is incredibly disruptive.
