Trump Administration Foreign Assistance Budget Allocation Documents
The Trump administration intends to withhold or divert nearly all global family planning and reproductive health funds appropriated by Congress, according to newly revealed budget documents released by Public Citizen, and jointly analyzed with Partners In Health and PAI.
In addition, the administration plans to cut global health funding to low- and middle-income countries by $1.66 billion, while giving $888 million to an “innovation fund” that would benefit U.S. companies. Most countries would lose health funding, including at least eight countries that would no longer receive any global health funds at all.
The budget documents, linked below, show the Trump administration’s preliminary funding allocation plans and its efforts to redirect foreign assistance funds.
- Determination and Memorandum of Justification for Reliance on Section 451 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (a State Department memo showing the administration’s plan to reprogram “up to $125 million” in foreign assistance funding for “the development of secure and diversified energy resources and infrastructure to ensure partners have [access to] U.S.-backed energy sources”).
- FY 2026 653(a) report (a budget notification detailing the State Department’s plan to allocate foreign assistance funds appropriated by Congress).
- FY 2025 653(a) report, beginning at page 112 (Global Health Council v. Donald J. Trump, 1:25-cv-00402 (Aug. 12, 2026)).
