Trump Suspends Foreign Aid

This is a bit of a shocker, although if you have a long memory, you've heard about stopping foreign aid before.

President Donald J. Trump has signed an executive order halting all U.S. foreign assistance for 90 days. This suspension is intended to give his administration time to scrutinize whether these programs align with its policy objectives, although Ukraine claims its military aid is unaffected.

Trump believes the “foreign aid industry and bureaucracy are not aligned with American interests and in many cases antithetical to American values” and “serve to destabilize world peace by promoting ideas in foreign countries that are directly inverse to harmonious and stable relations internal to and among countries.”...

 Well, yes.  The CIA's interests do not align with those of the US population at large; they haven't since about 1960 or so.  And if  you think "foreign aid" is run by the State Department, you are hopeless.  Put it this way:  the CIA "guides" State's generosity.
