U.S. Foreign Aid Freeze Sparks Global Concern

 

In a sweeping move, the U.S. State Department has issued a broad freeze on foreign aid following an executive order from President Donald Trump. The order, which mandates a 90-day pause in foreign development assistance, aims to review the efficiency and alignment of aid with Trump's foreign policy.
