U.S. pledges $2B in humanitarian aid to UN amid reduced overall foreign assistance.

The U.S. has pledged $2 billion in humanitarian aid to the United Nations in late December 2025, supporting global relief efforts amid ongoing crises. The funding comes as President Donald Trump’s administration continues to reduce overall foreign assistance, warning international aid agencies to "adapt or die" amid shifting geopolitical dynamics. While the U.S. maintains support for urgent humanitarian needs, including food, shelter, and medical care in conflict and disaster zones, broader development and diplomatic funding are being scaled back, reflecting a selective approach to foreign aid.
