The Trump administration has moved to reinstate at least six recently cancelled US foreign aid programmes for emergency food assistance, according to sources familiar with the matter. This rapid reversal highlights the unpredictable nature of Trump’s foreign aid cuts, causing frequent disruptions in international humanitarian operations. Jeremy Lewin, USAID Acting Deputy Administrator, requested staff to restore aid to the World Food Programme (WFP) in Lebanon, Syria, Somalia, Jordan, Iraq, and Ecuador, after the aid programmes were initially cancelled.
