The State Department explained, "The landmark agreement, made in connection with OCHA's 'Humanitarian Reset,' reaffirms the United States' ironclad commitment to supporting critical life-saving humanitarian action around the world, while implementing vital reforms to make that work more impactful, efficient, and accountable to the American taxpayer." "The United States remains the most generous nation in the world for lifesaving humanitarian assistance--but under [President Trump's] leadership taxpayer dollars will never fund waste, anti-Americanism, or inefficiency," stated Secretary Marco Rubio. "This new model will better share the burden of UN humanitarian work with other developed countries and will require the UN to cut bloat, remove duplication, and commit to powerful new impact, accountability, and oversight mechanisms." |
