  1. Sec. 3. (a) 90-day pause in United States foreign development assistance for assessment of programmatic efficiencies and consistency with United States foreign policy. All department and agency heads with responsibility for United States foreign development assistance programs shall immediately pause new obligations and disbursements of development assistance funds to foreign countries and implementing non-governmental organizations, international organizations, and contractors pending reviews of such programs for programmatic efficiency and consistency with United States foreign policy, to be conducted within 90 days of this order. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) shall enforce this pause through its apportionment authority.
    (b) Reviews of United States foreign assistance programs. Reviews of each foreign assistance program shall be ordered by the responsible department and agency heads under guidelines provided by the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Director of OMB.
    (c) Determinations. The responsible department and agency heads, in consultation with the Director of OMB, will make determinations within 90 days of this order on whether to continue, modify, or cease each foreign assistance program based upon the review recommendations, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State.
    (d) Resumption of paused development assistance funding. New obligations and disbursements of foreign development assistance funds may resume for a program prior to the end of the 90-day period if a review is conducted, and the Secretary of State or his designee, in consultation with the Director of OMB, decide to continue the program in the same or modified form. Additionally, any other new foreign assistance programs and obligations must be approved by the Secretary of State or his designee, in consultation with the Director of OMB.

  2. Thought this POS promised Russia’s war against Ukraine would be over within the next 12 hours

  3. >**Trump ends Ukraine aid by pretending that it’s just a “pause,” everyone agrees to keep playing along with the childish fiction for no readily apparent reason**

    Fixed that for you.

  4. Come on Europe, if ever we were planning on getting our shit together, now would be the time

  5. Fuck this fascist, Putin-gargling orange shitweasel. Apologies to all non-fascist shitweasels.

  7. Its not foreign aid if it goes to the US military industrial complex

  8. Dear world but especially Ukraine,

    I’m sorry.

    – an American who gives a shit

  9. And there were people believing this asshole might actually do one thing right… 😀 He has been bought and everyone knows who. Trump chose dictatorship over free and democratic nation.

  10. “(…) with the concurrence of the **Secretary of State**.”

    From **Rubio**, newly appointed: “*The truth of the matter is that in this conflict there’s no way Russia takes all of Ukraine. The Ukrainians are too brave, and fight too hard, and the country is too big, that’s not gonna happen,” Rubio said. “It’s also unrealistic to believe that somehow a nation the size of Ukraine, no matter how incompetent and no matter how much damage the Russian Federation has suffered as a result of this invasion, there’s no way Ukraine is also going to push these people all the way back to where they were on the eve of the invasion.*”

    “*My differences with the Biden administration throughout this process is that they never clearly delineated the end goal of what the conflict was. What exactly were we funding? What exactly were we putting money toward? And on many occasions sounded like, ‘however much it takes for however long it takes.’ That is not a realistic or prudent position.*”

  11. This doesn’t apply to military aid, just actual money for programs and government functions in other countries. Europe handles Ukraine’s domestic financing, not the US.

  14. This does not look like it is link with military aid.

  15. China: “Who would like some money?”
    Trump’s a fucking idiot.

  17. There we go.

    Trump keeping loyal to his friend Putin.

    Let’s hope our EU leaders will rise to the occasion. Writing to my PM as of right now.

  18. Not even a day in and I want to through this fucker out the white house myself. Turncoat, fascist piece of shit. If you voted for him and claim to be for America, you are lying to yourself and this is all your fault. They should be ashamed of themselves and never forget how they fucked everyone over.

    Trump is a piece of living dog shit.

  19. I didn’t see that, but ukraine is fine for now, so hopefully, in 90 days, it’s over he said he will call putin not sure how happy putin is Trump called him out said he already lost and should end the war even said putin knows he lost and the only thing he has is more soldiers to extend the war if putin chooses

  20. Trump gets to helping his buddy Putin on day 1, before he gets around to “helping” Americans (by slapping tariffs on goods ENTERING the US from Canada and Mexico)

    I hate this timeline.

    We are more likely to see a presidential golden shower oscar than his tax returns…. I guess we just have to wait for Nuremberg 2.0.

  21. To the people who were (and are) saying “he’s a wildcard”, “he’s unpredictable” etc…

    FUCK

    YOU

  22. Where have all the MAGA simps and Dorito translators gone to? Explain to the class how he has always had Ukraine’s back and will totally be tough on Russia.

  23. FYI Ukraine, for the next 90 days you can use American weapons you already have anywhere in Russia.

  24. I can believe Putin actually has his miracle of the House of Brandenburg now.

  25. What a fucking disgrace trump and the people that voted for him are. This isn’t the America the world deserves

  26. i don’t get it, they are openly nazi now and his friend Putin said Ukraine was full of nazis, why isn’t he helping them?

  29. A Nazi doing nazi shit.

    Europe seriously needs to stop playing games with that shithole.

  32. For those of you in Ukraine, something to consider is asking your embassy in the States to approach American arms manufacturers directly for interest and contracts, and to pitch to the administration that “it’s good for business” for those contracts to go forward.

  33. I really can’t believe the MIC didn’t kick money towards Trump and the other Rs to keep the war going.

  34. 100 years ago almost to the month, my ancestors came over from Ukraine to pursue a life of American freedom. In November my parents used that freedom to sell out their ancestral homeland to Putin at the hands of a clown dictator. What a disgrace.

  35. Because of course Mango Mussolini did…. he wants to give Putin some room.

  38. Well, we knew this would happen. Over to you, Europe.

  39. I read it differently. Development assistanceis mentioned and also maybe earlier then 90 days after review, is stated. Could mean anything.
