Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Jan. 28 issued a waiver for some humanitarian aid, exempting it from President Donald Trump’s 90-day pause on foreign assistance.
Rubio said in a memorandum that life-saving aid is still going to be funded. He defined life-saving humanitarian assistance as core life-saving medicine, medical services, food, shelter, subsistence assistance, supplies, and reasonable administrative costs as necessary to deliver such assistance.
