In 2018, citing a "failure to mobilize adequate and appropriate burden sharing," the Trump administration stopped funding UNRWA, calling its fundamental business model and fiscal practices "simply unsustainable".[168] Secretary of State Mike Pompeo maintained that "most Palestinians under UNRWA's jurisdiction aren't refugees, and UNRWA is a hurdle to peace."[169] However, the Biden administration restarted funding in April 2021[170] and as of 2023 has provided over $1 billion to the aid agency.[citation needed]

In February 2024, legislation was passed, cutting off the United States' funding to the agency for a year. According to UNRWA, United States funding resumed in April 2024.

Updating information on US funding to the agency seems in order. The Reuters source may also be a good citation for the previous sentence.
