Why we need American Aid

The Trump administration has effectively ended America’s help to people across the world hit by disasters. As the leading economy and preeminent power in the world, America leads. Part of that leadership is helping people in a crisis who don’t get help from any other source. 

We lead militarily with the most advanced and lethal armed forces ever assembled.  We lead politically by demonstrating how democracy works. We lead economically by creating the most innovative and wealthy economy in the world. We lead morally by extending a helping hand to people around the world who have been failed by their governments and need extra help to survive. Countries and people that accumulate great wealth have an obligation to help those less fortunate both inside and outside the USA. But beyond that moral call, aid to other countries makes Americans stronger, more prosperous and safer.
