Overview

• President Trump has issued a memorandum directing all federal agencies to review funding provided to nongovernmental organizations (NGOs).
• The directive seeks to stop funding for NGOs that the administration believes undermine U.S. security, prosperity, or safety.
• The review is part of Trump's broader agenda to reshape federal spending and align it with his administration's priorities.
• The memorandum does not specify which NGOs are targeted or provide examples of activities considered contrary to national interests.
• This move follows recent freezes on foreign aid and discretionary grant programs, as well as cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
