The article discusses the United States’ recent halt of nearly all foreign aid as part of Trump's America-First policy, marking a significant shift in its long-standing role as the largest donor globally. With over 40% of the UN's humanitarian budget previously funded by the U.S., this freeze for 90 days excludes only emergency food programs and military aid to Israel and Egypt. The implications of this decision could reshape U.S. foreign policymaking and its relationships worldwide, affecting health, education, and security initiatives across the globe.
The United States traditionally has been the largest donor of foreign aid, supplying over 40% of the UN's humanitarian aid budget last year.
Foreign assistance programs, which span health, education, and security, have now been largely frozen, impacting various global initiatives.
The freeze in aid raises questions about potential effects on international relations and the broader implications for U.S. foreign policy.
Emergency food programs and military aid to Israel and Egypt remain exempt from the freeze, yet many other crucial initiatives are halted.
