The article discusses the strategic importance of foreign aid, emphasizing its role in U.S. diplomacy under the agency U.S.A.I.D., created by JFK. Recently, significant cutbacks led to the suspension of various programs aimed at aiding impoverished nations, which has had dire consequences. The article highlights the halt of essential services such as maternal care and food assistance, demonstrating the high human cost of these policy shifts. It reflects on how foreign aid is seen as a necessity for U.S. influence rather than mere humanitarian assistance, suggesting a shift in diplomatic strategy under the current administration.
Foreign aid, originally established by JFK, serves as a means of U.S. influence globally, not solely as an act of charity.
The halting of U.S.A.I.D.'s operations has severely impacted vulnerable populations, with critical programs for health and food support ceasing.
