CTA President Confirms End of US Financial Aid

Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) President Penpa Tsering confirmed that US foreign aid under the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) will continue, despite his earlier statement about a complete halt to US aid. Speaking to RFA, Tsering cited US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who assured that PRM aid remains unchanged. However, the continuation of $24 million in USAID funding remains uncertain. The aid freeze has already impacted several large-scale projects. He emphasized that while PRM aid persists, future funding is not guaranteed as it depends on US policy on Tibet.
