NGO's Newspaper Ad Asks Americans for Donations After Trump's Drastic Aid Cuts
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) has launched a full-page advertisement in the New York Times, urging Americans to donate to support hundreds of millions of people in need following drastic cuts in U.S. foreign aid. The IRC claims that 46 government grants have received termination notices, which would deny critical services to at least 2 million people across multiple crisis zones. This move highlights the severe consequences of the Trump administration's "America First" policy on humanitarian aid.

- How will the long-term impact of such drastic reductions in foreign aid affect the stability of countries reliant on U.S. support, particularly those facing escalating crises like climate change?
