President Donald Trump is expected to sign executive orders cracking down on campus antisemitism and stripping federal funds from K-12 schools that teach critical race theory.
President Trump on Wednesday defended his temporary freeze on federal grants and loans — saying he stopped “condoms for Hamas” and other “waste” — after his aides rolled back a memo to agencies in order to “end any confusion” about what was being targeted.
Hamas has survived Israel’s 15-month war in the Gaza Strip. Now, the militant group is replenishing its ranks, although restocking its weapons supplies will be more difficult.
President Donald Trump said his administration blocked $50 million for condoms to be sent to Gaza through its pause on foreign aid. But it has provided no evidence that $50 million was ever directed toward condoms for Gaza.
A separate U.S. program that provides contraceptives internationally spent $60 million worldwide in one year, but Gaza was not among the recipients.
The US president has listed the stopping of condoms to Gaza as an accomplishment. But is he thinking of the wrong Gaza?
Analysis: Hamas's public display of power aims to show it is still in control of Gaza after Israel's brutal war, but will it complicate the ceasefire deal?
President Donald Trump suspended most U.S. foreign aid on Jan. 20, 2025, the day he took office for the second time. The next day, Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a stop-work order that for 90 days halted foreign aid funding disbursements by agencies like USAID.
President Trump says the the 30,000-person facility for undocumented migrants will house "the worst criminal illegal aliens".
Israel's offensive in Gaza was meant to weaken the militant group Hamas and ensure that an attack like that which occurred on Oct. 7 never happened again. As the ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war continues to hold,
Donald Trump’s new order isn’t about antisemitism. It’s about an attack on immigrants, universities, and pro-Palestine activists.
