Why isn't there a single European country or even the whole EU picking up the slack on USAID?
Or even why doesn't China do it
I don't support what trump did but why act like if USAID doesn't do it then no one else can either?
If i had to guess; it takes a long time to set up and finance something like that.
Also, I guess other actors doesn't gain as much as the US did from these projects.
