Canada to give C$250 mln to UN for global food crisis
Canada will provide C$250 million ($193 million) to the United Nations to address a food crisis exacerbated by supply chain constraints and high inflation after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Thursday.
“We provided half a billion dollars at the beginning of the year (to the United Nations’ World Food Program), and this is an additional C$250 million to address this serious crisis,” Trudeau told reporters at the Commonwealth summit in Kigali, Rwanda.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a major global grain grower and exporter, has affected the global economy by driving up gasoline, oil and food prices.
