Pledges totaling $1.5 billion were publicly committed by donors at the U.S.-hosted event.
The U.S. State Department press statement dated Feb. 4, 2026 says the United States hosted an event that “raised pledges of $1.5 billion in new assistance contributions.” Reuters reporting on the same Washington donor event documents an Emirati pledge of $500 million and quotes the U.S. envoy saying he expected $1.5 billion in total, including a $200 million U.S. contribution, corroborating the State Department’s claim about the scale of pledges. Verdict: True — official U.S. statement and independent reporting support that the Washington event produced pledges totaling about $1.5 billion in new assistance for Sudan.
