European Nations Demand Trump Refund Unspent USAID Funds
Sweden, Norway, and the Netherlands are seeking a combined $15 million refund from USAID for unspent contributions to the Water and Energy for Food (WE4F) project. These funds, intended for low-income countries, remain unallocated due to USAID funding cuts under the Trump administration. The lack of response from the US government has frustrated the European allies, jeopardizing the WE4F program’s impact on millions of vulnerable farmers. These nations are now exploring alternative avenues to continue the vital WE4F initiative.
