Donald Trump will sign an executive order Monday halting all new foreign aid unless it fits with U.S. strategic goals, according to two incoming senior White House officials.
The aim is to prevent American taxpayers' cash falling into the hands of groups working against the U.S. or promoting 'diversity, equity, inclusion' agendas, for example.
And it will likely immediately halt new U.S. money going to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).

 

It is the agency that distributes aid in Gaza but it has repeatedly been accused of close ties to the terror group Hamas. The UN admitted that nine of its staff may been involved in the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
'The United States and American citizens have been some of the most generous people in the entire world,' an incoming White House policy adviser told DailyMail.com.
'But at this point, we have to understand that foreign policy is domestic policy, and if this is not aligned with our interests, then Uncle Sam should not be opening up his pocketbook any longer.'
The executive order comes among the first to be signed by Trump after being sworn into office for a second term.
It signals his desire to bring foreign aid spending into line with his America First policy agenda and to sync it with the work of the State Department.
But it will send shockwaves around the world and among aid agencies who rely on the U.S. as the world's biggest donor, spending as much as $76 billion per year.
Trump slashed aid spending during his first term and set out his concerns again earlier this year.
'WE SHOULD NEVER GIVE MONEY ANYMORE WITHOUT THE HOPE OF A PAYBACK, OR WITHOUT "STRINGS" ATTACHED,' he posted in all caps on his Truth Social platform just as the Senate prepared to vote on a massive aid bill in February.
'THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SHOULD BE "STUPID" NO LONGER!'
Republicans have frequently raised red flags about U.S. aid.
Republican lawmakers in 2023 asked why USAID, the biggest U.S. foreign aid agency, had given $110,000 to Helping Hand for Relief and Development despite what they said were well documented ties to 'designated terrorist organizations, terror financiers, and extremist groups.'
The Pakistani group has been accused of links to the sectarian terror group. Lashkar-e-Taiba.

More recently, a U.S. government watchdog found that aid sent to Afghanistan had ended up in the hands of the country's Taliban rulers.
The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction reported that more than $10 million of American taxpayers' money had been paid to the extremist group that fought U.S. forces for 20 years.
Trump flagged the money during his speech on Sunday evening.
'Do you know that we pay billions of dollars a year ... to Afghanistan? Do you know that?' he asked, referencing almost $3 billion that has gone to ease a humanitarian crisis since U.S. troops left.
He proposed only sending the money if Afghanistan retrurns American military gear left behind.
The executive order will make all new aid payments subject to review by the Secretary of State.
The incoming White House policy adviser said it was a case of 'realigning and reevaluating' U.S. foreign 
aid.
'Anybody who has eyes and has been paying attention knows that the US foreign aid industry and bureaucracy is not aligned with American interests,' they said.
'In many cases, it's antithetical to our values. It often destabilizes world peace by promoting ideas in foreign countries that are directly inverse to harmonious and stable relations, internal to and between countries.
