Trump says he will decide on foreign aid spending cuts within a week

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he was looking at various options on a package that could cut foreign aid and that he would decide on the issue "sooner than a week." Trump administration officials have said they are reviewing State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development spending, with an eye to using a budget process known as "rescission" to slash some $4.3 billion in aid spending.

The move defies Congress, which passed legislation - signed into law by Trump-backing such spending.
