Adapt, shrink or die: Trump as US pledges $2bn for UN humanitarian aid

US pledged $2 billion for UN humanitarian aid as President Donald Trump's administration continues to slash its foreign assistance. Trump warned UN agencies to "adapt, shrink or die" in a time of new financial realities. The $2-billion pledge shows massive decline in recent US humanitarian funding, which reached as high as $17.2 billion in 2022, according to UN data.
