They might want some form of security from the Italians, who have so far provided only 3% of their previous promises towards global aid. A disgrace.

20B? That's it? The UN estimated 1BN in poverty worldwide, that's $6.66/person/year.
GDP per capita of the US is $47,000/person/year, that's one percent of one percent (0.0001).
Japan spent 60BN on the US defense system, and donates 3BN for poverty defense.

Why don't they pledge zero then, keep the standard at its lowest, and take that to heart.
