Trump admin cancels most foreign aid contracts

Subhead:Only 500 of the previous 6,300 USAID contracts remain in place.#

The Trump administration successfully cancelled most foreign aid contracts dispersed by USAID, a federal agency. Only 500 of the 6,300 awards remain in place. 

President Trump earlier halted new foreign aid in January pending further review by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Despite several lawsuits, the 90-day pause on foreign aid payments remains in place.

Washington froze most payments despite a temporary restraining order from the U.S. District Judge Amir Ali that they be released on Wednesday. The Supreme Court put the order on hold yesterday. 

An earlier court filing justified the cancellation of contracts, particularly those considered wasteful or related to diversity, equity, inclusion efforts. 

Officials were “clearing significant waste stemming from decades of institutional drift,” reads a memo detailing aid rollbacks. In 2023, USAID administered 60% of U.S. foreign aid, totalling $43.79 billion. Two-thirds of all spending serviced initiatives abroad in more than 130 countries.

For the State Department, however, 4,100 awards were ripped up, with another 2,700 kept. The administration will announce more changes in how the State Department and USAID deliver foreign assistance, reads a federal memo.
