The State Department is currently reviewing a final decision made by ex-Secretary of State John Kerry to give $221 million (£175 million) to Palestine.
The department revealed it might overturn or change-up the move to ensure it fits well with the Trump administration's priorities.
Kerry announced to Congress that the money would be sent hours prior to Trump's inauguration on Friday morning.

Kay Granger, a Republican lawmaker, has expressed dismay at the decision made by Obama.
"I am deeply disappointed that President Obama defied congressional oversight and released $221 million to the Palestinian territories," she said.
"I worked to make sure that no American taxpayer dollars would fund the Palestinian Authority unless very strict conditions were met."

Obama's administration had made the money release one of their main priorities, intending it to be used for humanitarian causes in the West Bank and Gaza, and to assist in political and security reforms.
