The Trump administration has reportedly frozen USAID projects as part of its foreign assistance audit The Trump administration has reportedly frozen assistance grants as part of a foreign policy audit
The Trump administration has frozen projects in Ukraine that were funded through the  US Agency for International Development, Reuter reported on Friday, citing a USAID official. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has frozen nearly all aid grants to Ukraine for 90 days, Politico reported on Friday. The move comes after President Donald Trump ordered a review of all foreign assistance.
The official told the news agency that USAID officers responsible for programs in Ukraine were told to stop all work. The projects that were frozen reportedly include support to schools and healthcare. Rubio instructed all diplomatic and consular posts to issue “stop-work orders” on nearly all “existing foreign assistance awards,” Politico said, citing an internal document.
According to Politico, the order has “shocked” State Department officials and appears to apply to funding for military assistance to Ukraine.
