In response to Mr Trotsenberg’s comments, a government spokesperson said: “The UK is one of the largest aid donors in the world – we have spent nearly £12.8 billion on aid in 2022 – which is more than many other G7 countries and is helping to reduce poverty, alleviate the devastating impacts of climate change and protect the world’s most vulnerable people. “Our Overseas Development Assistance is supporting people across the world, and last year responded to drought in East Africa, food shortages in Afghanistan and flooding in Pakistan. “Last year, a report by the Independent Commission for Aid Impact found that – despite us contributing £10 billion to the International Development Association in the past decade – our influence goes far beyond funding.”
