Trump Suspends 60 USAID Officials Amid 90-Day Foreign Pause - Halts and Layoffs Impact $72 Billion

The Trump administration has placed around 60 USAID officials on leave amid a sweeping foreign aid review. The move follows Trump’s executive order halting most foreign aid for 90 days, citing potential policy violations. Critics claim it suppresses dissent, as exemptions for Ukraine-related programs were reportedly denied. Secretary of State Marco Rubio exempted only emergency food aid and military support for Israel and Egypt. The decision has triggered program shutdowns and staff layoffs globally, intensifying scrutiny over US foreign aid policies. #Trump #USAID #ForeignAid #PolicyChange #GovernmentShakeup #USPolitics #MarcoRubio #ExecutiveOrder #AidFreeze #USFunding #UkraineAid #MiddleEastAid #IsraelSupport #EgyptAid #USGovernment #StateDepartment #Bureaucracy #PoliticalTensions #WashingtonDC #UNFunding #Peripheral Also Read Trump Freezes Federal Funding, Creating Confusion Across US Government Agencies :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-orders-federal-funding-freeze-us-government-panic-011-4056039.html?ref=DMDesc Reid Hoffman Highlights Optimism for AI Future Amidst Tech Industry Concerns About Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/reid-hoffman-ai-future-optimism-tech-peers-trump-011-4055011.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Orders Tariffs and Visa Restrictions on Colombia Following Rejection of Deportation Flights :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-orders-tariffs-visa-restrictions-colombia-deportation-flights-011-4054027.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~HT.334~

Trump Gets Big Boost In His Illegal Immigrants Deportation Plan| Florida Cracks Down On Illegals!

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a memorandum deputizing Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) officers to enforce federal immigration laws, aligning with Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration. Under the agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), state troopers will have the power to detain and deport illegal immigrants. However, concerns arise over staffing shortages and lack of additional funding. DeSantis is also pushing for tougher immigration laws, including eliminating sanctuary protections and enforcing stricter deportation measures. This move could significantly bolster Trump’s immigration policy ahead of the 2024 elections. #TrumpDeportation #IllegalImmigration #FloridaCrackdown #SecureBorders #DeportIllegalImmigrants #ImmigrationReform #BorderSecurity #Trump2024 #ICEEnforcement #MigrantCrisis #TrumpDeportation #IllegalImmigration #TrumpImmigration #DeportIllegalImmigrants #USImmigration #TrumpPolicy #SecureBorders #ImmigrationReform #BorderCrisis #DeportationPlan #MigrantCrisis #Trump2024 #StrictImmigration #ICEEnforcement #ImmigrationLaws Also Read PM Modi To Meet Trump In US On Feb 12-13, First Visit After Second-Term Inauguration :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pm-modi-to-meet-trump-in-us-on-feb-12-13-first-visit-after-second-term-inauguration-4064959.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Administration Plans Major USAID Overhaul, To Fire Over 10K Staff :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-plans-major-usaid-overhaul-to-fire-over-10k-staff-4064547.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Signs Order Imposing Sanctions On International Criminal Court Over Probe Of Israel :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-signs-order-imposing-sanctions-on-international-criminal-court-over-probe-of-israel-4064475.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~ED.194~HT.336~GR.124~

Trump’s 11-Ton Nightmare for Iran? US’ ‘Mother of All Bombs’ to reach Israel Soon? War Not Over Yet?

The U.S. is reportedly set to transfer the powerful 11-ton "Mother of All Bombs" (MOAB) to Israel, marking a major shift in policy amid rising tensions with Iran. This devastating non-nuclear weapon, capable of destroying deep underground facilities, could be used to target Iran’s uranium enrichment sites. Past U.S. presidents, including Bush, Obama, and Biden, denied Israel's request for the bomb, but Trump now appears to have changed course. With fears of Iran nearing nuclear weapons capability and Trump warning of severe retaliation against any Iranian threat, is the region on the brink of war? #TrumpIran #MotherOfAllBombs #USIsraelAlliance #IranNuclearThreat #MOAB #MiddleEastTensions #IsraelDefense #TrumpWarStrategy #IranVsIsrael #Geopolitics #MilitaryPower #BreakingNews #TrumpDoctrine #NuclearShowdown #WarFooting Also Read Trump Signs Order Imposing Sanctions On International Criminal Court Over Probe Of Israel :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-signs-order-imposing-sanctions-on-international-criminal-court-over-probe-of-israel-4064475.html?ref=DMDesc Marco Rubio Highlights Trump's Genuine Interest in Greenland and Panama Canal Due to China Threats :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/rubio-trump-greenland-panama-canal-china-concerns-011-4058145.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's Controversial Claims Linking Diversity Hiring to DC Plane Crash Under Scrutiny :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-blames-dei-for-dc-plane-crash-011-4058133.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~ED.194~HT.336~GR.124~

Trump Slaps Sanctions on ICC Over 'Baseless' Probe Targeting US, Israel, Freezes Assets of Court

President Trump signed an executive order sanctioning the ICC for "abusing its power" after it issued arrest warrants for Israeli PM Netanyahu. The order freezes ICC officials' assets and imposes travel bans, citing “illegitimate actions” against the US and Israel. Trump’s move follows a White House meeting with Netanyahu, where they discussed Gaza and regional policies. The ICC's probe into alleged war crimes in Gaza and Afghanistan has faced US opposition, with Trump previously sanctioning the court in 2020. The Biden administration later lifted those sanctions. #Trump #ICC #Sanctions #Israel #USIsraelAlliance #Netanyahu #WarCrimes #InternationalLaw #MiddleEast #Biden #Hague #HumanRights #Politics #Diplomacy #KarimKhan #Geopolitics #ForeignPolicy #WorldNews #LegalBattle #ExecutiveOrder #Peripheral ~HT.97~GR.122~ED.346~
