Hi, this is Michelle. Donald Trump’s dramatic policy shifts continue to have ripple effects in Geneva. At a key meeting, the UN’s health boss defended the organisation before other states against US accusations that led to their breakup. The Human Rights Council and the UN Palestinian aid agency have become the latest addition to the US leader's blacklist.
Tensions over US tariffs freshly imposed on China, Canada and Mexico are starting to boil at the World Trade Organization, though they will probably not go further than that. Plus, the fate of US aid is now under threat. |
