Trump Vol. 2 Will Impact Global Development – Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO)

The document examines the uncertainty surrounding the second Trump administration's approach to foreign aid and global security. It highlights a 90-day freeze on all U.S. foreign assistance and the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement and the World Health Organization. The text notes a divide in perception, where populations in BRICS nations are more positive about Trump's presidency for global peace compared to those in the EU and UK, despite an overall increase in global conflicts and expansionist rhetoric regarding territories like Greenland and Panama.

• The Trump administration has implemented a 90-day full freeze on all foreign assistance, including funding for UN organizations, requiring an assessment of programmatic efficiencies and consistency with U.S. foreign policy before aid can resume.
• The U.S. has withdrawn from several major international frameworks, specifically the World Health Organization, the Paris Climate Agreement, and the OECD’s Global Tax Deal.
• Public perception of Trump's impact on global peace varies significantly by region: high percentages of respondents in India (82%), Saudi Arabia (57%), China (52%), and Russia (45%) view him positively, while majorities in the U.K. (58%) and South Korea (50%) view him negatively.
• There is significant uncertainty regarding the U.S. position on climate issues and international law, exacerbated by expansionist remarks concerning Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal.
