After President Trump took the oath of office on January 20, he signed a decision to suspend the grant assistance that had been distributed to various countries for a period of 90 days. Following this, correspondence was sent to all countries for the implementation of the decision.
The BBC reported that this decision caused widespread fear among millions of people who rely on U.S. government aid. In response, Judge Loren Ali Khan of the district court ordered that the decision be immediately put on hold, maintaining the status quo.
