US Adds $1.8B in Humanitarian Aid Tied to Trump's Foreign Policy

The US State Department announced an additional $1.8 billion in humanitarian aid to be distributed through UN channels, specifically targeting countries that align with the Trump administration's foreign policy interests. Jeremy Lewin, Under Secretary for Foreign Assistance, stated that funding will focus on areas beneficial to presidential policy. The US remains the largest donor to OCHA, and this new allocation will expand aid efforts in regions such as Venezuela and Lebanon while enhancing tracking and efficiency.
