独家报道： 特朗普政府公布了迄今为止最清晰的蓝图，勾勒出美国数十年传统对外援助之后的发展方向，主张私人投资、贸易和美国企业而非纳税人资助的援助，应成为美国海外发展的主要动力。
周一在纽约美国常驻联合国代表团举办的“以贸易取代援助”论坛上，美国常驻联合国大使迈克·沃尔茨在接受福克斯新闻数字频道独家采访时表示，政府正在“彻底改革我们的援助方式”，摆脱纳税人资助的项目，转向私营部门主导的发展模式。
“多年来，美国和其他国家向这些援助项目投入了数十亿美元，却几乎没有收获，”沃尔茨说，“你去联合国和全球各地发展机构的这些论坛，根本看不到私营部门的身影。你只会看到非政府组织、学者和政府官员，但看不到创造增长和就业机会的主体。”

沃尔茨表示，新模式旨在“创造就业机会，为美国企业创造符合‘美国优先’原则的业务，同时提高海外生活水平，减少可能助长恐怖主义和贫困的不稳定因素”。
特朗普政府在2025年着手解散美国国际开发署（USAID），理由是该机构效率低下，且常常与美国外交政策脱节。当被直接问及“以贸易取代援助”是否会取代USAID时，沃尔茨表示，USAID的职能已被并入国务院，这是更广泛的效率改革的一部分，但他强调，这一倡议的意义远不止于单个机构。
“我们现在所做的，与USAID或其替代者无关，”沃尔茨说，“那次高效的改革是为了让我们的援助服务于我们的外交政策，而不是反过来。但我认为更重要的是，我们如何帮助美国企业，如何帮助全球创造就业机会，减少依赖。”
此事迫在眉睫：随着USAID重组并入国务院，援助预算面临压力，特朗普政府试图证明自己拥有一套替代模式，用于美国帮助贫困和脆弱国家。他们提出的解决方案不是更多传统援助，而是更多私人资本、更多贸易、更多美国企业的合作机会，以及更少无期限的纳税人承诺。

出席论坛的捷克环境部长伊戈尔·切尔文尼表示，这一理念与该国后共产主义时期的经历产生了共鸣。
他说，共产主义结束后，捷克共和国不得不通过工作、商业、工业和创新进行重建，而非依赖援助。

“如果你致力于发展经济、工业、社会和自然，大概两三年、最多五年后，你就会处于更有利的位置，”切尔文尼对福克斯新闻数字频道说，“你有了自己的资金。你不再是‘乞讨者’的奴隶。你现在掌握了自己的命运。”
切尔文尼表示，贸易为各国提供了“合作的机会”，而不是让它们一次次重复同一个请求：“请给我一些钱。”
主导美国常驻联合国代表团这一倡议的大使丹·内格雷亚对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，全球援助预算缩减使得新模式成为必要。
“在当前环境下，我们需要换一种思路来帮助发展中国家，在美国债台高筑的情况下，我们不能再像过去那样花钱帮助其他国家，”内格雷亚说，“不仅美国的发展援助在减少，世界各国都是如此。”
内格雷亚表示，与传统捐助国相比，受援国对该倡议的反对声音更小。
“有趣的是，受援国的反对声音比一些捐助国要小，这些捐助国习惯于以慈善姿态行事，对他国慷慨解囊，”他对福克斯新闻数字频道说，“多年来，许多发展中国家一直表示，它们希望结束这种受赠慈善的地位，转向更有尊严的伙伴关系和发展模式。”
但一些发展中国家的领导人也警告称，贸易无法一夜之间取代援助，尤其是在紧急情况下。刚果（金）外交事务、国际合作及法语国家事务国务大臣特雷泽·凯基万巴·瓦格纳对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，在刚果（金）东部埃博拉疫情等危机中，援助仍然至关重要。
“援助有时能极大地改变局势，”她说，“这不是贸易能在一夜之间改变的。但从长远来看，贸易确实是创造更大增长、更大经济繁荣的途径，因此也能改善国家间更平等的关系。”
凯基万巴·瓦格纳补充道，这种转变必须“因地制宜”，不能“过于突然”。
该倡议目前已吸引了46个国家参与，并推出了一个数字图书馆，收录了来自私营企业、政府、非政府组织、慈善机构、学术机构和国际组织的63项能力建设提议。
但当被问及这些提议目前已产生了哪些成果时，内格雷亚承认该倡议仍处于早期阶段。他说，该图书馆于上周揭幕，目前的目标是将这些提议转化为具体成果。
“我们希望看到更多可交付的成果，”内格雷亚说，“我们希望看到实际完成的交易。我们希望看到各国利用这个数字图书馆，获取来自世界各地的实用能力建设提议。因此，我们希望在不花费美国纳税人资金的前提下提供帮助，同时为美国企业创造机会。”

这项努力面临的核心挑战是，私人资本是否会流向传统上最需要援助的地区：那些体制薄弱、基础设施不可靠、存在腐败、冲突或市场对大型投资者来说风险过高的脆弱国家。

沃尔茨认为，联合国开发计划署、世界银行和美国国际开发金融公司等机构恰恰可以在这方面发挥作用。
“当我们与摩根大通、高盛等机构交谈时，它们表示，希望向海外这些行业投资数亿美元，但它们需要更完善的法律，需要更好的仲裁机制，”沃尔茨说，“我们需要确保能将资金从美国投资者那里撤出。”
他表示，美国国际开发金融公司（DFC）和美国对世界银行的捐款，可以为风险较高的市场的投资提供“风险保险和担保”，包括美国科技行业所需的关键矿产项目。
“这风险极高，”沃尔茨说，“有时华尔街和纽约的资本提供者只会选择最安全的地方。例如，当我们为科技行业寻找关键矿产时，进入风险较高的地区是合理的，但它们需要一点帮助。”
最强烈的警告并非来自场外的批评者，而是来自论坛内部。
亚历山大·德克罗，前比利时首相，现任联合国开发计划署署长，表示贸易和援助不应被视为对立的双方。
“贸易是目标，但发展是我们达成目标的途径，”德克罗说，“市场不会自行形成。它们需要被构建。”
德克罗表示，投资会在规则可预测、机构值得信赖、工人具备抓住机遇的技能时流入。他将联合国开发计划署的角色描述为帮助各国构建这些基础。“过去几十年里，没有哪个国家在没有强大私营部门和贸易作为重要组成部分的情况下成功实现发展，”他说。
微软负责联合国及国际组织事务的副总裁克里斯托弗·沙洛克也警告称，援助仍有市场无法完全替代的作用。
“援助确实发挥着至关重要的作用，而且可能是其他任何东西都无法替代的作用，”沙洛克说，他指出疫苗接种运动、饥荒应对和自然灾害救援等领域的援助仍然至关重要。

对特朗普政府而言，“以贸易取代援助”被宣传为更符合“美国优先”原则的更严谨的发展方案：更少的施舍，更多的合作，更少的依赖，为美国企业和外国伙伴创造更多就业机会。

但考验将在于，它能否不仅在已经准备好接受投资的国家取得成效，还能在最艰难的地区——那些长期以来因为市场不愿进入而由援助填补空白的地区——取得成功。

EXCLUSIVE: The Trump administration is laying out its clearest blueprint yet for what comes after decades of traditional U.S. foreign aid, arguing that private investment, trade and American business — not taxpayer-funded assistance — should become America’s primary engine for development abroad.
At a U.S. Mission to the United Nations “Trade Over Aid” forum in New York Monday, Ambassador Mike Waltz, the U.S. permanent representative to the United Nations, told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview that the administration is “completely reforming how we do aid” by moving away from taxpayer-funded programs and toward private-sector-led development.
“For too many years, the United States and other countries have poured billions and billions of dollars into these aid programs and got very little in return,” Waltz said. “You go to these forums at the United Nations and at development agencies around the world, and you never find the private sector. You find NGOs and academics and governments, but you don’t find the creators of growth and the creators of jobs.”

U.S. URGES DONORS TO ABANDON U.N.R.W.A. FUNDING AS U.N. DEFENDS AGENCY’S MISSION

Waltz said the new model is designed to “create jobs, to create business for American companies in line with America First,” while also raising living standards abroad and reducing instability that can fuel terrorism and poverty.
The administration moved to dismantle USAID in 2025, arguing the agency was inefficient and too often disconnected from U.S. foreign policy. Asked directly whether “Trade Over Aid” is replacing USAID, Waltz said USAID’s functions had been folded into the State Department as part of a broader efficiency effort, but insisted the initiative is about something larger than one agency.
“What we’re doing, this isn’t about USAID or what replaces it,” Waltz said. “That was an efficient effort to get our aid to serve our foreign policy, not the other way around. But what I think is more important is how do we help American businesses and how do (we) help create jobs around the world and reduce dependency.”
The stakes are immediate: with USAID reorganized under the State Department and aid budgets under pressure, the Trump administration is trying to show that it has a replacement model for how the U.S. helps poorer and fragile countries. The answer it is pitching is not more traditional aid, but more private capital, more trade, more deals for American companies and fewer open-ended taxpayer commitments.

Czech Environment Minister Igor Cerveny, who attended the forum, said the idea resonated with his country’s own post-communist experience.
After communism, he said, the Czech Republic had to rebuild through work, business, industry and innovation rather than dependency.

“If you work on your economy, on your industry, on your society, on nature as well, probably two, three, five years later, (you will) be in a better position,” Cerveny told Fox News Digital. “You have your own money. You are not now the slave of (asking). You are now the master of your destiny.”
Cerveny said trade gives countries an “opportunity to cooperate” rather than forcing them to return again and again with the same request: “Please give me some money.”
Ambassador Dan Negrea, who is spearheading the initiative in the U.S. Mission, told Fox News Digital that shrinking aid budgets around the world make a new model necessary.
“We need to think differently about how we help developing countries in an environment in which, in the United States, we are indebted and we cannot continue to spend money on helping other countries the way we used to,” Negrea said. “Development aid is going down not only in the U.S., but in countries around the world.”
Negrea said the initiative has received less resistance from developing countries than from traditional donor nations.
“Interestingly, there is less pushback from countries receiving aid than from some donor countries that like to continue in this attitude of charity, being magnanimous to other countries,” he told Fox News Digital. “For years and years and for decades, many developing countries are saying that they want to end this status of recipient of charity and move to a much more dignified relationship of partners and development.”
But some leaders from developing countries also warn that trade cannot replace aid overnight, especially in emergency settings. The Democratic Republic of Congo’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation, and Francophonie, Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner, told Fox News Digital that aid remains critical in crises such as the Ebola outbreak in eastern DRC.
“Aid sometimes can transform dramatically a situation,” she said. “This is not something you can change overnight with trade. But yes, over a long term, trade is the pathway to create greater growth, greater economic prosperity, and therefore also more equal relationships between countries.”
Kayikwamba Wagner added that the shift must be “adapted to circumstances” and not be “too abrupt.”
The initiative already has drawn 46 countries, and launched a digital library with 63 capacity-building offers from private companies, governments, NGOs, philanthropies, academic institutions and international organizations.
But when pressed on what those offers have produced so far, Negrea acknowledged the initiative is still in its early stages. The library was inaugurated last week, he said, and the goal now is to turn offers into concrete outcomes.
“We want to see more deliverables,” Negrea said. “We want to see actual transactions that were done. We want to see countries using the digital library to see usable capacity building offers coming from around the world. So we want to help without the cost to the U.S. taxpayers, but at the same time creating opportunities for American companies.”

The central challenge facing the effort is whether private capital will go where aid has traditionally been most needed: fragile countries with weak institutions, unreliable infrastructure, corruption, conflict or markets too risky for major investors.
WALTZ CALLS U.N. A ‘CESSPOOL FOR ANTISEMITISM’ AS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION PUSHES MAJOR REFORMS

Waltz argued that is exactly where institutions such as the U.N. Development Program, the World Bank and the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation can play a role.
“When we talk to organizations like J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs and others, they’re saying, we want to invest hundreds of millions into these industries abroad, but they need better laws, they need better arbitration,” Waltz said. “We need to know that we can get our money out for our investors here in the United States.”
He said the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) and U.S. contributions to the World Bank can provide “risk insurance and guarantees” for investments in riskier markets, including critical minerals projects needed by the U.S. technology sector.
“It is incredibly risky,” Waltz said. “Sometimes these capital providers like on Wall Street and in New York are only going to go to the safest place. Sometimes it makes sense, for example, as we’re looking for critical minerals for our tech industry, to go into risky places, but they need a little help.”
The strongest note of caution came not from critics outside the room, but from inside the forum itself.
Alexander De Croo, the former Belgian prime minister who now leads United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), said trade and aid should not be treated as enemies.
“Trade is a destination, but development is how we get to that destination,” De Croo said. “Markets do not build themselves. They have to be built.”
De Croo said investment flows when rules are predictable, institutions are trusted and workers have the skills to seize opportunity. He described UNDP’s role as helping countries build those foundations. “There is no country over the past decades that has successfully developed without a strong private sector and without trade being a big part of that,” he said.
Christopher Sharrock, Microsoft’s vice president for United Nations and international organizations, also warned that aid still has a role that markets cannot fully replace.
“Aid does do an essential job and it does a job that possibly nothing else can do,” Sharrock said, pointing to vaccination campaigns, famine response and natural disasters as areas where assistance remains critical.

For the Trump administration, “Trade Over Aid” is being pitched as a more disciplined, America First answer to development: fewer handouts, more deals, less dependency, more jobs for American companies and foreign partners alike.

But the test will be whether it can deliver not only in countries already ready for investment, but in the hardest places — the places where aid has long filled the gap because markets would not.
