The United States is the largest single donor of aid globally. In fiscal year 2023, it disbursed $72 billion in assistance. Guterres&#8217; spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said the U.S. was one of the U.N.&#8217;s largest contributors of voluntary humanitarian development aid, and that the world body was trying to work out what impact the pause would have.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;We&#8217;re extremely appreciative of the generosity the United States has always shown. We want to work together, to assess, to hear and deal with the concerns of the new U.S. administration, while at the same time ensuring that the most vulnerable remain protected,&#8221; Dujarric told reporters. There was initial confusion among U.S. lawmakers, aid groups and the United Nations over the scope of Trump&#8217;s order. That was cleared up on Friday, when the U.S. State Department issued a &#8221;stop-work&#8221; order for all existing foreign assistance and paused new aid, according to a cable seen by Reuters. China and some of the companies in China, one in particular, coming up with a faster method of AI.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio can issue waivers and has given an exemption for emergency food assistance. &#8221;The Secretary-General calls for additional exemptions to be considered to ensure the continued delivery of critical development and humanitarian activities for the most vulnerable communities around the world, whose lives and livelihoods depend on this support,&#8221; Dujarric said. Guterres looks forward to working with the new U.S. administration &#8221;on the provision of much needed development support to people grappling with the most difficult challenges confronting the developing world,&#8221; Dujarric said.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/un-chief-guterres-calls-more-exemptions-us-aid-pause-2025-01-27\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/un-chief-guterres-calls-for-more-exemptions-to-us-aid-pause\/\">UN chief Guterres calls for more exemptions to US aid pause<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1901,17733,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-136909","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-guterres","tag-us-aid-pause","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136909","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136909"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136909\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136909"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136909"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136909"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
