BREAKING: President Trump Officially Suspends All Aid to Ukraine!

President Trump literally is batting 1000 right now, the man cannot miss.

It’s one win after another, and he’s stacking them up extremely fast, faster than even I expected, delivering on every single campaign promise….and then some!

Now he’s tackling Ukraine, officially suspending all military aid and funding to Ukraine:

The move was actually made by Marco Rubio as Secretary of State but was no doubt heavily influenced, if not fully directed by, President Trump:

Marco Rubio ⚠️JUST frozen ALL Foreign Aid⚠️ Why? He wants "Every dollar" to be reviewed to make sure it makes America safer/stronger.

The halt is wide-ranging and will last for (at least) 90 days, which implies President Trump may believe he’ll have the war stopped by then:

CBS News had more:

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has sent an order to all U.S. diplomatic and consular posts instructing a pause on “all new obligations of funding, pending a review, for foreign assistance programs funded by or through the Department and USAID.” The message was in line with the executive order President Trump signed on Monday to reevaluate U.S. foreign aid.

The order, which was obtained by CBS News, said that across the U.S. government, “it is currently impossible to access sufficient information in one place to determine whether the foreign assistance policies and interests supported by appropriations are not duplicated, are effective, and are consistent with President Trump’s foreign policy.”

Rubio’s order went on to say that the State Department “needs a centralized repository from which senior Department, USAID officials, Ambassadors, missions and others can draw sufficiently detailed information from which the Secretary can make judgments.” It added, “Further guidance regarding a new or updated repository and mandatory bureau submissions to it will be forthcoming.”

Under Rubio’s order, there is an 85-day deadline for a “government-wide comprehensive review of all foreign assistance” to be completed, and, it stated, “a report shall be produced to the Secretary of State for his consideration and recommendation to the President.”

The order also appears to impact current existing aid programs, stating, “For existing foreign assistance awards, contracting officers and grant officers shall immediately issue stop-work orders, consistent with the terms of the relevant award, until such time as the Secretary shall determine, following a review.”

However, Rubio indicated that U.S. foreign military financing for Israel and Egypt are exempt from the order, as well as emergency food assistance and “salaries and related administrative expenses, including travel, for U.S. direct hire employees, personal services contractors, and locally employed staff.” This includes exceptions to the pause approved by the State Department Director of Foreign Assistance Office.

BioClandestine (now rebranded to WarClandestine) who for some reason has me blocked on Twitter (can we fix this my friend?) posted the following which I thought was very astute:

I think Trump’s EO on foreign aid, is tied to the ongoing negotiations with Russia.

With the money flow cut off, Zelensky finds himself with virtually zero leverage, and Trump proves to Putin that he is acting in good faith about finding a lasting solution to the conflict. pic.twitter.com/iS1VbA8j04
