The US has donated between $8 billion and $10 billion annually in voluntary aid over the past several years, marking a significant reduction in this year’s commitment. In addition to the voluntary aid, the US pays “billions of dollars” to the UN each year for membership, according to US officials. However, the US remains the largest humanitarian donor to the UN with this pledge.
I know fascists will point to the US reducing its donations and still being the largest donor as some sort of bullshit win, but it really isn’t.
Just as the richest in our society should pay more in taxes and have their wealth redistributed to those who need it, the US should pay more in donations to support countries that actually need the aid.
