flag 24 wealthy nations, including the U.S., are cutting global aid for defense, despite climate and refugee progress.

flag A new study by the Center for Global Development finds 24 wealthy nations, including the U.S. and Japan, are cutting global development aid and redirecting funds to defense, with the U.S. ranking 28th despite unreflected Trump-era cuts like USAID’s dismantling. flag The UK rose to fifth before a planned 40% aid reduction. flag While emissions fell in over three-quarters of countries and refugee hosting increased, rising arms exports, trade barriers, and fossil fuel subsidies offset progress. flag The report was released as South Africa hosted the G20 summit, with the U.S. taking over leadership but Trump not attending.
