United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has expressed concerns regarding President Donald Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause on foreign aid. The pause is intended to reassess how these funds align with U.S. foreign policy.

Guterres' spokesperson stated on Monday that the Secretary-General is calling for further exemptions to ensure essential humanitarian and development efforts continue. These activities are crucial for vulnerable populations worldwide.
