The humanitarian organisation Norwegian People's Aid says it will decline United States funding because of new restrictions attached to the money. The organisation says losing State Department support would cut roughly 40 percent of its budget for clearing mines and unexploded bombs across 20 countries. The move is being linked to the Trump administration's anti-DEI conditions on foreign assistance, prompting debate over whether political strings on aid are worth the cost to demining work.
