‘Adapt, Shrink Or Die’: US Overhauls UN Aid With $2 Billion Ultimatum

Hol

Well-known
The United States and the United Nations signaled a major shift in how American taxpayer dollars will flow to global humanitarian efforts on Monday, signing a landmark agreement that officials say will prioritize efficiency over bureaucracy.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), signed by the U.S. Department of State and the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), launches what is being called a “Humanitarian Reset.” The deal fundamentally changes the mechanism of U.S. funding, moving away from individual project grants toward consolidated “pooled fund vehicles.”



The agreement reflects the Trump administration’s broader skepticism of international organizations. Officials stated that while U.S. contributions have historically reached $8-10 billion annually, the return on investment has diminished due to “ideological creep,” duplication, and a failure to align with American interests.
