flag USAID halts major aid program in Indo-Pacific, creating gaps in funding for global issues.

flag USAID has halted its major foreign aid program in the Indo-Pacific, raising concerns about a funding gap for critical global issues like pandemics and counter-terrorism. flag While China's aid spending has declined since 2017, other donors like Australia, Sweden, Belgium, France, and Germany have also cut their aid budgets. flag Although China could potentially step in, it focuses more on loans for infrastructure. flag The reduction in US aid could leave a significant void in the region's support for global public goods.
