Trump Orders Comprehensive Review of Federal NGO Funding

The president's directive aims to halt funding for organizations deemed to undermine national interests, with federal agencies tasked to align spending with administration priorities.

• 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).
