Supported claims indicate foreign aid fell from $72 billion to $47 billion in fiscal year 2025 after Trump administration budget actions targeting USAID. A Rockefeller Foundation poll of 2,022 voters released June 30 showed initial support for foreign aid at 54 percent rising to 70 percent after respondents received information on its 1 percent budget share. Snopes and Straits Times accounts differ on whether USAID was ordered closed or dismantled.
