The Trump administration has announced $73 million in aid for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh

The Trump administration has announced $73 million in aid for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh – Washington, March 27 – [According to a report by Reuters] The Trump administration announced on Thursday that it will provide $73 million in new aid for Rohingya refugees through the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). This is part of special food and nutrition assistance, amid concerns that the crisis of the world’s largest stateless population could deepen further. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said in a tweet, "This food and nutrition assistance through @WFP will provide urgent food and nutrition support for more than one million people. It is critical for our international partners to participate in this kind of aid to share life-saving assistance." This announcement comes at a time when President Donald Trump and his administration have decided to make significant cuts to foreign aid, as part of his "America First" policy. The U.S. has provided nearly $2.4 billion in aid to Rohingya refugees since 2017, making it the largest provider of refugee assistance. However, since the Trump administration came to power, restrictions on funding have been imposed, forcing five hospitals to limit their services.
