U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says the cuts will be “devastating” for the world’s most vulnerable people.

He urges the United States , as well as other countries that have recently announced reductions in humanitarian and development aid, to reverse their decisions.

The United States is the largest single donor in terms of humanitarian funding to the United Nations .

More than 9,100 foreign assistance-related grants worth over $15.9 billion have been reviewed.

More than 4,100 grants worth nearly $4.4 billion are identified for elimination as part of “the America First agenda” — a 28% reduction in total grant value.

USAID evaluated 6,200 multiyear awards with $58.2 billion in value remaining.
