President Donald Trump has put off for now signing an executive order that would require U.S. food aid to be sent abroad on U.S. ships, according to an administration official.
There are no plans to issue the order within the next week, according to the official. Earlier Friday, another administration official said Trump was poised to sign the order as soon as next week. Both officials discussed the matter on condition of anonymity because the order hasn’t been issued.
