Turmoil as Trump and Musk take aim at top US aid agency
America's top diplomat Marco Rubio says he is now the acting head of the agency that distributes billions of dollars in aid around the world.
Surveys demonstrate that Americans believe 25% of the federal budget is spent on foreign aid. In reality, the US gives about 0.2% of its gross national product (GNP), the total value of goods and services produced by a country, to foreign aid – or less than 1% of its federal budget.
But, despite this, USAid provided 42% of all humanitarian aid globally in 2024. This included about US$72 billion (£58 billion) in aid in a wide range of areas, from helping people access clean water, sanitation, healthcare and energy, to providing disaster relief, shelter and food.

German investigators believe that a wave of car vandalism across Germany, initially blamed on radical climate activists, is actually part of a Russian-orchestrated sabotage campaign, according to a Spiegel report published Wednesday.
More than 270 vehicles were damaged in Berlin, Brandenburg, Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. Saboteurs sprayed construction foam into car exhaust pipes, rendering vehicles unusable, local police departments told Spiegel.
To throw investigators off the scent, the vandals plastered cars with fake eco-stickers featuring Economy Minister Robert Habeck’s face and slogans like “be greener!” According to authorities, their goal was to stoke public outrage against Germany’s Green Party ahead of the national election on Feb. 23.
