The Trump administration has pledged $2 billion in humanitarian aid to United Nations agencies, while warning that these organizations must 'adapt, shrink, or die' under a new funding model. The initiative aims to overhaul traditional foreign assistance by enforcing stricter standards on efficiency, accountability, and oversight, with the goal of reducing costs and increasing impact. Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that the approach is designed to push for long-awaited reforms within the United Nations system and lessen the financial burden on the United States. The funding, which is significantly lower than previous contributions, will be administered through a consolidated, flexible pooled model, replacing the older project-by-project grants. United Nations officials have welcomed the agreement as a landmark step, while the administration made clear that future support will depend on continued reforms.
