The United States is committing $2 billion in humanitarian aid to the United Nations, emphasizing a more accountable and strategic approach to foreign assistance.
Officials say the funding prioritizes efficiency and reforms while ensuring that the U.S. remains the world’s leading humanitarian donor. The announcement comes as many U.N. agencies face significant pressure to streamline operations and reduce spending in the wake of funding cuts from the U.S. and other Western nations.
