US foreign assistance programs all have buy American requirements for the aid that is provided, from food or other goods purchased to any airline travel by staff or participants, etc. it all helps the US economy while helping others. It’s such a win-win for the American people.

I wonder when Trumpers will figure out who plants, cultivates and harvests our food? 😢
