U.S. Pledges $2 Billion for UN Aid, Despite Cuts: A New Approach to Humanitarian SpendingThe U.S. has announced a $2 billion pledge for UN humanitarian aid, a fraction of past contributions. This comes as the Trump administration slashes foreign assistance and pushes U.N. agencies to adapt to tighter budgets. The new fund, managed by the U.N.s coordination office, aims to direct money more efficiently to key agencies and crises. Humanitarian groups are struggling with program reductions, job losses, and scaled-back services due to the cuts. The initial outlay targets seventeen countries, but skips places like Afghanistan. U.S. officials and Fletcher, the coordination offices leader, hail it as smarter spending and proof of humanitarian leadership. Checkout Solipillow.com
