US Aid Budget on the Chopping Block
Donald Trump is poised to eliminate a significant portion of the US aid budget, a move that could have far-reaching implications for international development projects, warned cabinet ministers.
Impact on UK Projects
Concerns have been raised about the future of joint international development efforts between the US and UK as Trump prioritizes domestic spending.
Political Response
While some support Trump's focus on America first, others, including Labour MPs, advocate for maintaining or increasing foreign aid budgets for global initiatives.

Reform UK Deputy Leader, Richard Tice MP, expressed support for Trump's approach of prioritizing domestic needs over foreign aid, emphasizing the importance of serving British citizens.
