US Offers $2B as UN Funding Dries Up and Oversight Failures Mount

As global humanitarian crises escalate and Washington reexamines how foreign aid dollars are spent, the United States announced Monday it will pledge $2 billion to United Nations relief programs, pairing continued support with strict demands for reform.

According to The Associated Press, the pledge comes as President Donald Trump's administration continues sweeping reductions in U.S. foreign assistance and issues a blunt warning to U.N. agencies facing a new financial reality: "adapt, shrink or die."
