The US halts foreign aid for most countries, including Ukraine, while sparing Israel and Turkey. The directive affects military, development aid, and global health programs like PEPFAR.

In a major blow to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's war efforts in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, the Trump administration has halted all US aid to foreign nations, including Ukraine, with Israel and Egypt being the only exceptions.

The State Department on Friday reportedly issued guidance that it is freezing almost all U.S. foreign assistance — with exceptions for emergency food aid and foreign military financing for two U.S. allies, Israel and Egypt — according to a cable obtained by multiple outlets.
