NEW YORK – While the U.S. bishops have yet to comment on the Trump administration’s freeze on federal grant, loan, and other financial assistance programs, they have asked Catholics to contact their members of Congress with concerns about a separate foreign aid freeze enacted last week.
On Jan. 26, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that consistent with an executive order from President Donald Trump he had paused all U.S. foreign assistance funded by or through the Statement Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
