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.
The comment I removed prior to your reply specifically talked about US troops being sent to Israel, which I noted in my reply as misinfornation.
Your reply of, essentially, “Nuh uh!!” did nothing to address that statement.
If you don’t know what we’re talking about, you probably should stay out of it.
