What the memo says

The Jan. 27 memo directs federal agencies to "temporarily pause all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all federal financial assistance" until officials ensure that the programs are consistent with Trump’s policies.

The memo singles out programs related to foreign aid, diversity, equity and inclusion, "woke" gender ideology and funding related to the "green new deal" pending a review. (The "Green New Deal" was a policy blueprint focusing on the environment that was backed by some Democrats in 2019 but was never enacted. Trump has used the term in the past as a catchall for green energy initiatives.)
