The European Commission can't make up the shortfall left by Donald Trump’s recent decision to dismantle the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and suspend its funding, according to an EU Commission official talking with Euronews.

That's what we're focusing on in today's Radio Schuman. How are European NGOs reacting? What measures can the EU take? we ask Euronews' Marta Iraola Irribarren who broke the scoop and gives us some insights.

USAID allocates billions of dollars annually to provide aid and medical supplies to millions worldwide. In Brussels, numerous NGOs that rely on USAID funding or collaborate with the agency have voiced concerns about the far-reaching consequences of the decision, particularly for those facing critical health crises.

Radio Schuman also explores today's agenda, in particular a key NATO meeting, a conference in Paris on Syria and debates in Strasbourg at the European Parliament.

We also have a look at the best destination for 'quiet holidays'.

Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Maïa de la Baume, with journalist and production assistant Eleonora Vasques, audio editing by Johan Breton. Music by Alexandre Jas.
