Trump moves to block $5 billion in foreign aid: White House

U.S. President Donald Trump has moved to block $5 billion of congressionally-approved foreign aid, the White House said Friday -- raising the likelihood of a federal shutdown as Democrats oppose the policy.

The cuts "affect programs of the Department of State and the United States Agency for International Development," Trump wrote in a letter to the House of Representatives.
