Suspensão da ajuda externa de Trump faz soar alarmes
January 29, 2025 -
A decisão do Presidente Donald Trump dos EUA de suspender o
financiamento externo suscitou preocupações à luz da posição de
Washington como maior prestador mundial de ajuda humanitária.
A federal judge on Tuesday blocked the funding freeze until February 3, but the aid programmes could still be at risk, depending on the results of a court battle.
Humanitarian organisations and UN agencies say they could face drastic curbs on their ability to distribute food, shelter and healthcare if the freeze becomes permanent.
The U.S. is by far the biggest contributor to global humanitarian aid, supplying an estimated $13.9 billion in 2024, accounting for 42% of all aid tracked by the United Nations, Reuters said.
