Trump calls for review of all US funding to NGOs

Trump has ordered a review of federal funding for all NGOs to stop support for those that undermine national interests, according to a White House memorandum.
The administration attempted to freeze federal grants, claiming it aims to end 'wokeness' and prevent funding for various causes, including equity and transgender rights.
A coalition of nonprofits successfully obtained a restraining order against the funding freeze, highlighting the critical role of NGOs in enhancing public safety and prosperity.
Legal experts argue that many of Trump's executive orders are illegal, stating that the president cannot choose not to spend funds allocated by Congress.
