Washington D.C. – The Trump management proposed important reductions to foreign aid, including substantial cuts to programs supporting global health and international peacekeeping. The proposed budget outlined a $250 million decrease for global health initiatives, impacting essential services like water and healthcare in regions affected by natural disasters and conflict. Additionally, $361 million was slated for international peacekeeping efforts aimed at stabilizing conflict zones and safeguarding civilians.
Administration officials stated that some proposed cuts, such as the elimination of funding for UNICEF, were intended to foster greater efficiency within international organizations and encourage broader financial contributions from other nations, thereby prioritizing American taxpayers.
