Tell me why I want my tax dollars to go to other nations when US citizens are starving.
I missed when Trump stopped all foreign aid.
He stopped giving to nations that voted against the US in the UN.
And the ones that didn't?
I honestly don't know.
I know Trump sent less and wanted to only give money when we got something in return on our investment.
So your tax dollars still went to other nations when US citizens were starving?
It is using soft power...
Because a leader wants something doesn't mean the people don't want it.
Foreign aid is also an investment in sometimes making a low income country into a middle income country which US can trade with...
OR sometimes it is just a trade incentive and stabilise the country enough to get that resource...
So lets look at the aid

First two were wars GOP got US into...
Israel, Jordan and Egypt are there for Israel, Egypt to work with Israel and Jordan who have a million Palestine refugees (thanks Israel)...
So 15 Billion is due to GOP misadventures and the rest is actual Foreign Aid...
Sudan and Nigeria are because of Uranium, kind of don't want that to go to other countries like China or Russia... Actually a lot of these are to keep better relations than China and Russia...
Why do the RWNJs want to give global control or resources to Russia and China?
