Fired for refusing to endanger aid workers

The United States pledged $2 billion for UN humanitarian aid in December 2025, added $1.8 billion in May 2026 and made direct awards to UNICEF and the World Food Programme in June. Total UN commitments are nearly $5 billion, still about 70% below the $17 billion Washington gave each year before the freeze. Within hours of his January 2025 inauguration, Trump froze nearly all foreign assistance, dismantled USAID by July and warned UN agencies to 'adapt, shrink or die.'
