Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies

In a new memorandum, President Donald Trump has directed executive departments and agencies to scrutinize and potentially halt funding to nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that are perceived to undermine U.S. national interests. This move aims to ensure that taxpayer dollars are only used to support NGOs that align with the administration's goals and priorities. The action could lead to significant shifts in how U.S. foreign aid and domestic support are distributed, potentially sparking legal and political debates over the definition and determination of national interest.
