EMERGENCY HOMANITARY WAITING Foreign Aid break

To implement President Trump’s executive order for the reassessment and adaptation of the United States’ foreign aid, I approved yesterday an extra waiver of the break for life -saving humanitarian assistance during the review.

Implementors of existing life -saving humanitarian aid programs should continue or resume work, if stopped, subject to the directions described in this exception. This resumption is a temporary nature, and with limited exceptions as needed to continue life -saving humanitarian aid programs, no new contracts must be concluded.

The full, signed waiver can be found here.
