Meanwhile, the Trump administration has issued a directive to halt aid to all countries worldwide, except Egypt and Israel. The letter states that USAID has suspended its aid to Bangladesh due to this directive.

A confidential document regarding the suspension of aid reveals that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio mentioned that existing or new aid matters will be reviewed and no new funds will be released until they are approved. Foreign aid will be reviewed within the next 85 days. This initiative is part of President Donald Trump’s “America First” policy.
The USAID letter states that this letter is for all USAID Bangladesh partners. It instructs partners to immediately cease or suspend any work related to contracts, task orders, grants, cooperative agreements, or assistance.
