US Threatens Aid Cuts to South Sudan

US Threatens Aid Cuts to South Sudan

The United States is very upset with South Sudan.

The U.S. says South Sudan is charging too much money for help that comes into the country.

This help is for people who need it, like food and medicine.

The U.S. also says South Sudan is making it hard for the United Nations to keep the peace.

The U.S. is the biggest helper to South Sudan, and they say if South Sudan doesn't stop these things, they might give less help in the future.

South Sudan has been having a lot of fights and problems since it became a country in 2011.

Many people are hungry, and the U.S. says this is partly because of corruption.

But South Sudan says the problems are because of fights, weather, and problems with oil because of a war in a nearby country.
