Christopher Luxon announced plans to push for new free trade deals, including those targeting Bangladesh, Argentina, and Europe. The Prime Minister also stated that if re-elected, his government would slash the country's $1.2 billion aid budget by 10% over four years. These changes come as global humanitarian aid budgets are shrinking, notably from the United States under President Donald Trump.
