The Trump administration is considering shutting down the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which plays a critical role in global humanitarian aid. In fiscal year 2023, USAID distributed approximately $44 billion to 160 countries, with Ukraine receiving the largest share of over $16 billion. This potential closure raises concerns about the future of humanitarian programs aimed at combating poverty, disease, and disaster relief. Amidst internal conflict, senior USAID officials were placed on leave, leading to significant disruptions in foreign aid activities.
The Trump administration has targeted USAID for potential shut down, highlighting risks to global humanitarian efforts as they reconsider federal roles and funding.
In FY 2023, USAID disbursed around $44 billion to aid countries, marking the U.S. as the largest humanitarian donor globally despite funding freezes.
