Foreign Aid

When foreign aid was first created, it was used to stop countries from going to communism. Now today, foreign aid is to help out our allies and to keep our

friendships with other countries. There are many different types of foreign aid.

Reliance

There are four different areas that rely on the United States for foreign aid. Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East all rely on us. America gives foreign aid to different countries in the world, but most countries don’t give back to the United States.

Importance

The United States is a very giving country to other countries around the world. It is important that the United States is a kind, giving to others so other countries will be kind in return. Another reason is so allies don’t turn away from the United States. Giving money to countries will increase our trust and friendships between others.
