The United States announced a $2 billion pledge for UN humanitarian aid amid cuts to foreign assistance under President Trump's administration. This funding, while a fraction of past contributions, aims to maintain the US's status as the largest humanitarian donor. The money will be managed by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), which will have a greater role in aid allocation. Critics argue that these aid cuts are shortsighted and have worsened global crises. The US seeks to consolidate aid leadership within the UN to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
