Impact Of Trump Aid Suspension

Giving aid is not purely an act of kindness. It has both seen and unseen motives. In most cases, foreign aid is a tool to promote national interests. There is no free lunch. With Donald Trump taking to the presidential seat in the USA, a US official categorically stated that “US should only spend abroad if it makes America "stronger", "safer" or "more prosperous". However, the world needs more redistribution if it has to overcome poverty and inequality as stated in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), making the world a safer place for all. US global leadership and its grant aid are critically interlinked.
