It proposes a budget amounting to a total of almost €1.8 trillion in commitments over the seven years.

This briefing provides an overview of the main components of the proposed long-term EU budget for the years 2028 to 2034. It also provides an initial comparison with the current budget framework for 2021-2027, focusing on commitment appropriations.

The dismantling of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) by the second Trump administration in 2025 marked a significant shift in US foreign policy. US national interests were prioritised over multilateral development and humanitarian aid, with the decision described by the Trump administration as an alignment of aid with US values. The European Union (EU) and its Member States cannot fully offset these cuts, which will most dramatically affect funding for global health, food security and crisis response. In the past, US and EU approaches to aid targeted different ends: while the EU has focused on sustainable development and peace building, the US emphasised crisis-driven aid.
