Chart of the Week: Uncertainty about US foreign aid policy

Amidst the barrage of new policies announced in President Trump’s second week in office was the decision to suspend foreign aid payments pending a 90-day review, and place the majority of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)’s 10,000 strong workforce on leave. A federal court has since issued a ruling intended to block the latter measure, but the future of USAID remains uncertain. The US’s share of global foreign aid flows, as tracked by the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC), has come down since the USAID’s inception in 1961, but the US still stood for around 30% of

News in Charts: Trump 2.0 — once more, with feeling

Donald Trump was inaugurated this week, being officially given the keys to the White House for a second time. So far, there is little sign that distinguishing between posture and policy will be any easier this time around. Nonetheless, the first few days of his administration have provided some additional clarity. Most notably, perhaps, was a more dovish approach to tariffs. Meanwhile, the prominent role of Big Tech CEOs at the inauguration highlighted the likely importance his administration will place on AI, specifically, and economic growth, more broadly. The bigger picture is that the probable outcome of Trump 2.0 remains
