Nordic NGOs hopeful that waiver in US aid freeze will offer some reprieve

US President Donald Trumps’s order to pause US aid for 90 days continues to leave major global aid efforts in limbo, but an expanded humanitarian waiver makes organisations hopeful that some programmes can continue operating. Norwegian Refugee Council is still figuring out what the new waiver will mean. The head of DanChurchAid describes it as a positive step but says no one knows the full consequences of the aid suspension.
