Tunisia increasingly isolated under Saied as US loses interest

 The United States has slashed its military and civilian aid to Tunisia. A desperately needed $1.9bn International Monetary Fund loan continues to be delayed with the possibility of a US veto. 

And an almost $500m grant from the Millennium Challenge Corporation, a US aid agency, is unlikely to proceed.

The main reason, according to analysts: Tunisia’s increasingly authoritarian drift under President Kais Saied, which is contributing to the North African country’s increased international isolation.
