From the early days of his mandate, President Donald TRUMP decided, by decree, to suspend foreign development aid for the duration of a budget review ("Stop Work Order"). On January 24, 2025, the State Department ordered all American government agencies, including USAID, to stop working on international aid programs and to freeze expenditures for a review period of eighty-five (85) days. This unexpected decision has significant consequences in beneficiary countries, notably Senegal.
