- 摘要
- 新局将回避社会项目、气候项目
- USAID去年被解散,并入国务院
- 该局将在12个枢纽运营,获得54亿美元资金
华盛顿,3月20日(路透社) – 美国国务院一位高级官员表示,周五(3月20日)美国国务院成立了一个新局,负责监督美国对全球自然灾害和人道危机的应对工作,这标志着特朗普政府对对外援助的重大改革告一段落。
特朗普政府官员和埃隆·马斯克领导的政府效率部在2025年1月上任后,解散了美国国际开发署,解雇了数千名官员,并取消了其大部分赠款,随后该机构被并入国务院。

这位官员表示,新成立的“灾害与人道主义响应局”将配备约200名官员,在全球12个枢纽地区开展工作,每年获得约54亿美元的资金。
该局将严格聚焦于“救命”援助,而非气候项目以及该官员所谓的“社会事业”。
该官员在宣布前向记者介绍时表示,该局还将监督全球粮食安全。
美国国际开发署(USAID)每年管理约400亿美元资金,并资助全球长期发展项目。其中一些工作在国务院其他部门继续开展。

该官员表示:“我们将更谨慎地选择应对的事务。美国没有责任应对每一场灾难、每一次危机,尤其是当对手或憎恨美国的团体成为问题时。”
“我们不是世界警察,也不是世界安全网。但当我们的盟友和战略伙伴需要我们的帮助,以及当某些事务因关乎美国国家利益而被我们介入时,我认为我们会在这些方面分配更多资源。”
新成立的该局隶属于负责对外援助、人道事务和宗教自由的副部长办公室,该办公室目前尚未有参议院确认的负责人,由前DOGE(政府效率部)工作人员杰里米·卢因(Jeremy Lewin)领导。
该官员称,新局最初将由瑞安·施拉姆(Ryan Shrum)领导,他一直担任卢因的幕僚长。

- Summary
- New bureau to echew social programs, climate projects
- USAID dismantled last year, absorbed into State Department
- Bureau to operate in 12 hubs with $5.4 billion funding
WASHINGTON, March 20 (Reuters) – The U.S. State Department on Friday established a new bureau to oversee U.S. responses to natural disasters and humanitarian crises around the world, capping the Trump administration’s dramatic overhaul of foreign aid, a senior department official said.
Trump officials and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency dismantled the U.S. Agency for International Development after taking office in January 2025, firing thousands of officials and canceling most of its grants before it was absorbed into the State Department.

The official said the new Bureau of Disaster and Humanitarian Response would be staffed by about 200 officials, operate in 12 hubs around the world and receive roughly $5.4 billion a year in funding.
It would narrowly focus on “life-saving” aid rather than things like climate projects and what the official called “social causes.”
It would also oversee global food security, said the official, who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity ahead of the announcement.
USAID managed about $40 billion a year and also funded longer-term development projects around the world. Some of that work continues in other parts of the State Department.

“We are going to pick more carefully the stuff that we respond to. It’s not the United States’ responsibility to respond to every disaster, every crisis, especially when our adversaries or groups that hate the United States are at issue,” the official said.
“We’re not the world’s policeman. We’re not the world’s social safety net. But when our allies and strategic partners need our help, and when there’s stuff that we’re engaging in because it’s important to our national interest, then we’re going to be, I think, allocating more resources there.”
The new bureau falls under the undersecretariat for foreign assistance, humanitarian affairs and religious freedom, which is currently without a Senate-confirmed leader and is headed by former DOGE staffer Jeremy Lewin.
The new bureau will initially be headed by Ryan Shrum, who has been serving as Lewin’s chief of staff, the official said.
