US suspends aid to Pakistan, key development projects on hold

US suspends aid to Pakistan, key development projects on hold
Share on WhatAppShare on XShare on Facebook

Islamabad, January 28, 2025: The United States has temporarily suspended aid to Pakistan, along with several other nations, leading to the disruption of numerous critical development projects. The US Department of State recently directed diplomatic and consular missions to pause foreign aid programs for 90 days as part of a reassessment. This decision affects assistance to countries including Ukraine, Taiwan, Jordan, and Pakistan.

US officials have confirmed that all aid programs for Pakistan are currently on hold, pending the outcome of this review. The suspension has caused significant setbacks across multiple sectors. Cultural preservation projects funded under the Ambassador’s Fund have been halted, along with five key energy sector initiatives. Economic growth programs and agricultural development projects have also been impacted, with aid to four economic and five agricultural projects now suspended. Furthermore, funding for democracy, human rights, and governance-related initiatives has been stopped. Critical education and health programs have also been affected, along with 11 governance-related projects.

The suspension follows an executive order signed by President Trump on January 20, 2025, shortly after the start of his second term. The order mandates a 90-day pause on foreign development assistance to review and realign all programs with US foreign policy goals. The directive emphasizes that no foreign assistance should be disbursed without ensuring its alignment with the administration’s priorities.

In the wake of the executive order, the US State Department issued a memo announcing the suspension of nearly all new foreign aid funding. Exceptions were granted for key Middle Eastern allies, including Israel and Egypt, and for emergency food assistance programs. The department defended the move, quoting President Trump, who said, “The United States is no longer going to blindly dole out money with no return for the American people.”

US officials clarified that the suspension is temporary and that the future of these programs will depend on the findings of the ongoing review of foreign aid policies.
