On the first day of his second term, Trump signed 26 executive orders, one of which – Executive Order 14169, titled "Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid" – mandates a 90-day pause on all US “foreign development assistance” worldwide. After the order was signed, the US State Department swiftly froze all foreign aid initiatives, with the notable exceptions of the Israeli regime and Egypt – the two largest recipients. Under the order, the disbursement of federal funds to any non-governmental organizations (NGOs), international bodies, and contractors tasked with delivering US "aid" is prohibited.
