United StatesThe United Nations has appointed Luke Lindberg, a U.S. agriculture official and son-in-law of Senator John Thune, as the new head of the World Food Program (WFP). Lindberg replaces Cindy McCain, who resigned in February after health issues. The WFP currently faces challenges in raising funds to address global hunger, with reports indicating that up to 266 million people face acute hunger but only 110 million can be assisted due to funding cuts. Lindberg, who serves as the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s undersecretary for trade and foreign agricultural affairs, was previously nominated by former President Donald Trump. His appointment marks the continuation of a trend where the U.S. has consistently been the largest donor to the WFP and has held its leadership position since the 1990s.
