The US stops practically all international support as Trump pushes America-First coverage.
For many years, the US has been the most important single donor of support globally.
Final 12 months, it supplied greater than 40 p.c of the UN’s humanitarian support finances.
However now, most international help via the Division of State has been frozen for 90 days, with solely emergency meals programmes and navy support to Israel and Egypt exempted.
The help helps initiatives starting from well being and schooling to safety and battle.
So what may very well be the consequences of the US freeze on support, each for itself, and different nations?
And the way will it reshape Washington’s relations with the world?
