• Millions have been affected by the freezing of US financial support, decided by Donald Trump.
• Trump believes these aid programs are not aligned with US interests and, in many cases, are against its values.
• The freeze is officially in force for three months, during which a review of aid programs will be carried out.
• The decision has caused chaos and disorder, including a fear of reprisals from the new administration.
• Trump has been criticised for his decision to freeze international aid uniformly rather than conduct a detailed examination.
• The US grants $70 billion in humanitarian, health and development aid, a vital component of its soft power.
• US withdrawal from international support opens the door for China to extend its influences.

Conclusion: Trump's freezing of global financial support has caused a state of chaos, disorder and fear worldwide. This decision seems to run contrary to the defense of US interests, posing a risk to its global influence and potentially paving the way for other powers such as China.
