Trump Suspends US Foreign Aid; Ukraine Military Support Unaffected

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order suspending all U.S. foreign aid for 90 days to assess alignment with American interests, yet Ukraine's military assistance remains unaffected. Ukrainian officials clarified that the freeze primarily targets international aid programs associated with development, U.N. agencies, and humanitarian efforts, while military aid through the Presidential Drawdown, Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, and Foreign Military Financing programs continues uninterrupted. The Center for Countering Disinformation affirmed that misinformation regarding military aid halting is false. Trump's order criticizes the foreign aid bureaucracy as misaligned with U.S. values and contributing to global instability. Despite concerns from Ukrainian media, it appears that pre-appropriated funds may still be available. Overall, the implications of this suspension on reconstruction programs in Ukraine remain uncertain.
