Germany will provide Ukraine with modern air defense and other weapons, as well as humanitarian and economic aid.

Tessa Pettit, executive director of the Florida Immigrant Coalition, expressed her frustration with the decision, stating that it is "not what America used to stand for." The conditions in Haiti remain dire, with gang violence displacing 1.3 million people and making it unsafe for individuals to return. Haitian resident Naomi Esther Blemur believes that DHS officials' claims of improved conditions are dishonest, and she urges the American public to consider the well-being of TPS holders and their minor US children who cannot be brought back to Haiti.

At least 50 world leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and Kenya's William Ruto, will attend the event. The US has snubbed the conference, while South African President Cyril Ramaphosa cancelled his visit due to domestic political reasons. International charity Oxfam says development aid cuts are the largest since 1960, with over $4 trillion missing annually. The conference aims to reform international finance and address debt burdens that hinder poverty reduction efforts in countries like Zambia, where 3.3 billion people live in debt-trapped situations.
