Kuwait Aims to Prevent US Refugee Agency Break
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is considering cutting its ties with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). This step comes amid a dispute over the appointment of a deputy High Commissioner, with Washington accusing the agency of pursuing a "mass migration agenda" and neglecting its core mission to assist genuine refugees. Notably, the United States was the largest financial contributor to the agency in 2025, providing $868 million, roughly a quarter of its total funding. However, the financial crisis faced by the agency, which saw a 30% decrease in funding in 2025, could worsen if Washington withdraws its support. Such a move would weaken relief efforts at a time when the world is experiencing unprecedented waves of displacement.
