Trump halts US foreign aid, sends shockwaves to NGOs and 'media' organizations

Op India  

On Wednesday, 29th January, the US government led by President Donald Trump decided to hold on to the ‘America first’ policy and freeze foreign funding assistance to Pakistan, Bangladesh and other countries affecting several USAID projects, including Ambassadors Funds for Cultural Preservations. Amid this, the US is taking faster steps to re-evaluate its decision to provide funds to NGOs that work to fix illegal immigrants’ lives, waiving basic aid like food and medicines. The 14-page extract of a much longer document outlined a contract of USAID to create “the environment for Nicaragua’s transition to democracy.” William Grigsby from Radio La Primerisima revealed the plan in the document that described how USAID worked with various NGOs, think tanks, media organizations, and human rights bodies to support opposition to the Ortega government. According to a 2019 report in People’s World, USAID aligned closely with the National Endowment of Democracy in “Transition Initiatives” to promote the foreign policy goals of the US.
