Summary
New Secretary of State Marco Rubio froze most foreign aid grants for three months, reportedly shocking State Department officials.
The freeze affects military aid to Ukraine, Jordan, and Taiwan, while exempting aid to Egypt and Israel.
Staff were instructed to halt nearly all existing foreign assistance programs immediately.
The move aligns with Trump’s pledge to negotiate an end to the Russia-Ukraine war, as Russia gains ground in the conflict.
Rubio’s decision has raised concerns about the broader implications for U.S. foreign policy and global alliances.
We just handed Russia new borders to Ukraine. China can start more saber rattling against Taiwan. Fucking ignorant policy.

That’s amazing! I have the same password on my luggage!
You mean he just handed China all of Africa, and more. China loves giving aid for influence.
That’s a larger conversation however the US bases in Djibouti and elsewhere aren’t a guarantee of Chinese hegimony in Africa.
I don’t think it’s ignorant. I think Trump is selling America for personal gain. He’s been very blatent about all of this.
This is what happens when a wannabe dictator isn’t held accountable for their actions during their previously failed coup.
