The US will give $2 billion to help other countries. This is a lot of money. The US State Department said the money will change how the United Nations gives help. They want the help to be better. The money will go to seventeen countries. It will not go to Afghanistan or Yemen.
The US wants a new way for the money to be given. A UN office will manage it. This is a new plan. Some people think this will make things easy. But some people are worried. A researcher named Themrise Khan thinks the US might control the UN. She thinks the UN should be fair.
This news comes after an election in Guinea. Mamady Doumbouya won the election. He was the leader of the army. Many people voted. But some people could not run. This makes the election not fair for everyone.
Doumbouya took power in 2021. He said he would let civilians lead. But he decided to run for president. The US is not giving money to Afghanistan or Yemen. This shows US choices may change aid. This can make it hard for global help.
