Deliver foreign economic and humanitarian aid unilaterally, not through intermediaries
Printed page 702 22. Department of the Treasury
“If the U.S. is to provide economic assistance or humanitarian aid to other nations, it should do so unilaterally—not through the pass-throughs of international aid organizations, non-governmental organizations, or other nations.”
What has happened
- Attempted
Executive Order 14169 paused all United States foreign development assistance for a 90-day review of programmatic efficiency and consistency with United States foreign policy, and required each responsible department head to review and then continue, modify or cease each program. It reaches the channel question the Quote is about — assistance delivered through international organizations, non-governmental organizations and other governments — but it is a review directive, not a rule that aid be delivered unilaterally, and Treasury's own assistance channels were not separately redirected.

Research notes
No instrument in the evidence window states the rule this Quote asks for — that assistance be delivered unilaterally rather than through pass-throughs. What exists is a review order and the reorganization of United States assistance that followed it, which Chapter 9 tracks. This item takes its own reading: attempted, because the directive touches the channel question without settling it.
Treasury’s press and statements indexes for 2025 and 2026 carry no release on the channels through which United States economic or humanitarian assistance is delivered.
