<-- President Donald Trump Global Satisfaction

Humanitarian assistance is an essential part of U.S. foreign policy and has proven to be a key factor in reducing global poverty. By investing in critical programs that provide food, health care, education, economic development, and disaster relief, the U.S. saves lives, supports marginalized communities, and promotes global stability.  

The United States typically spends less than one percent of the federal budget on foreign aid, which includes both humanitarian assistance and development programs. Continued investment in U.S. foreign aid is essential to protect the world’s most vulnerable people, foster long-term development, and strengthen U.S. leadership on the global stage.  

We must ensure that these lifesaving and life-changing programs are safeguarded and expanded. (AGREE/DISAGREE)
