A Trump Executive Order paused foreign aid globally. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/reevaluating-and-realigning-united-states-foreign-aid/ The State Dept halted all aid, except to Israel & Egypt. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce9nx5k7lv0o As a consequence, USAID froze all work world-wide https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/26/trump-threatens-disciplinary-action-usaid-staff
