Marco Rubio has ordered an immediate 90-day suspension of nearly all foreign aid programs, Orda reports, citing Politico.
According to Politico, this will affect the military support for Ukraine.
However, there are exceptions - the US will continue military financing programs for Israel and Egypt.
Meanwhile, Keith Kellogg, incoming peace envoy for U.S. President Donald Trump, told FOX News on Jan. 24 that stricter measures targeting Russia's oil industry could pressure the Kremlin to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine.
The proposal comes as Trump threatens to impose sanctions and tariffs on Russian exports if no deal to end the war is reached soon.
Russia is earning billions from oil sales, Kellogg said.
He emphasized that battlefield victories alone would unlikely force Russia to end the war.
Kellogg argued that reducing Russia's oil revenues to $45 per barrel, its breakeven point, could weaken Moscow's financial resilience and force it to seek a settlement.
