If this occurred this week, then it violated Trump’s E.O. about stoppage of all aid to foreign countries, except Israel and Egypt, wouldn’t it?
Military aid is excluded.
No. All aid was subject to a case by case review. I think this is leverage for upcoming negotiations.
In any case, the Secretary of State is authorized to make exceptions.
...(e) Waiver. The Secretary of State may waive the pause in Section 3(a) for specific programs...
We didn't normally give anyone foreign until after World War 2.
Now, it's become the new norm. The only issue is who gets it and how much.

US military aid to Ukraine has not been suspended, states Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a press conference with Moldovan President Maia Sandu.
The president of Ukraine just stated:
“I know there are some restrictions, we need to look at them in detail. The restrictions are for 90 days on humanitarian programs. I know there are many institutions around the world that the US government previously supported. I don’t know about this, I don’t see this money. I can only say that Ukraine might not receive what I’m dealing with. I am focused on military aid, and it has not been stopped, thank God,” Zelenskyy stated.
