Countries that benefit from the United States Foreign Aid including Kenya can breathe a sigh of relief after a federal court in the US paused President Donald Trump's freeze on foreign aid.
During his inauguration, his first order of business as president, Trump on January 20, 2025 issued an Executive Order (EO) pausing U.S.
foreign development assistance for 90 days to foreign countries.
This decision put countries that benefited from the aid, especially in Africa, including Kenya, in limbo, threatening the health sector and jobs that largely depended on the funding.
