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’s Explosive Attack on the EU. In a scathing attack on the European Union, former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that the EU was created to take advantage of the United States. Speaking at his first cabinet meeting since returning to the White House, Trump announced new tariffs, confirming a 25% tax on key European imports, including cars. The U.S.-EU trade deficit reached $235.6 billion last year, fueling Trump's push for aggressive trade measures. The European Union rejected his accusations, calling itself "the world's largest free market" and warning of immediate retaliation if tariffs are imposed.

The confrontation comes amid growing concerns over massive job losses in sectors tied to cryptocurrency and tech investments. With Elon Musk’s influence on DOGE, speculation is rising about the real impact of digital assets on employment.

US President Donald Trump appears to step back from his controversial Gaza plan after Egypt and Jordan voiced strong opposition. In a Fox News interview, Trump admitted he was “a little bit surprised” by their rejection. His proposal aimed to “take over” Gaza, eliminate Hamas, and restart development under US control. However, without regional buy-in, Trump now says he will not force the plan but will “sit back and recommend it.” This shift signals potential challenges in implementing any long-term strategy for Gaza’s future governance and stability.

Trump’s Gaza ‘Riviera’ Plan has sparked massive outrage in the Muslim World. U.S. President Donald Trump’s controversial plan to turn Gaza into a Middle Eastern ‘Riviera’ has triggered a major Arab summit in Saudi Arabia. Leaders from Egypt, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, and other Gulf nations are gathering to discuss a unified response to the proposal, which involves expelling Gaza’s Palestinian population. While Cairo has proposed an alternative reconstruction plan, divisions remain over who should govern Gaza post-war. As regional tensions escalate, the summit is expected to shape the future of Gaza and broader Middle East geopolitics.

Hamas ready to release all Israeli hostages at once in Gaza ceasefire negotiations. Hamas has announced its readiness to release all remaining Israeli hostages at once during the second phase of Gaza ceasefire negotiations, as reported by Al Jazeera. The group proposed exchanging all Israeli captives for Palestinian prisoners in a single exchange, aiming to secure a permanent truce and full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. The ceasefire deal, brokered by Egypt, Qatar, and the US, began on January 19. In the first phase, Hamas agreed to release 33 hostages in return for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.

Hamas Releases Names: Hamas has announced the names of three hostages set to be released as part of the ongoing ceasefire agreement. Among them is Russian-Israeli national Alexander Troufanov, alongside US-Israeli hostage Sagui Dekel-Chen and another Israeli hostage, Iair Horn. However, tensions remain high as Israel has warned of immediate airstrikes if Hamas fails to release them on time. The ceasefire, brokered with the help of the US, Egypt, and Qatar, has faced multiple delays and accusations of violations from both sides. Meanwhile, former US President Donald Trump has urged Israel to abandon the truce if all hostages are not freed by Saturday. Hamas Releases Names
