The United States froze virtually all foreign aid on Friday.
Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, sent an internal memo days after Donald Trump took office vowing an “America First” policy of tightly restricted assistance overseas.

“No new funds shall be obligated for new awards or extensions of existing awards until each proposed new award or extension has been reviewed and approved,” said the memo to staff seen by AFP and other news outlets.
