Presidential Memorandum 14148

Revoking PPD-6 on U.S. Global Development Policy

This memorandum revokes Presidential Policy Directive-6 (PPD-6), the 2010 Obama-era policy on U.S. Global Development Policy, on grounds that it conflicts with the current administration's executive orders on America First foreign policy, WHO withdrawal, international environmental agreements, and foreign aid realignment. The revocation directs a broad set of cabinet officials and agency heads but imposes no new affirmative mandates or deadlines.
