The U.S. Administration has decided to restore the U.S. 2019 foreign assistance to program, including the assistance to Armenia, the Voice of America reports.

Trump’s administration gave up the idea to cut the foreign financial assistance which supposes restoration of the frozen 4 billion USD.

As a result the foreign assistance programs approved for 2019 will get funding, including the ones envisaged for Armenia.

As to the 2020 U.S. allocations to Armenia and Armenian programs, the discussions will continue in U.S. Senate in September after the Congress returns from holiday. They will discuss also the bill on allocation of additional 40 million USD allocation to Armenia and to demining program of Nagorno Karabakh.
