In 2024, US companies exported $137.8 million to Mozambique, and imported $201.7 million from that country[0]. If that country were crippled by a healthcare crisis, that's less business for companies in the US and other countries that also deal with the US. Supply chains, interconnectedness, and all that. It also helps to have allies across the world. Allies who have close ties with our health agencies, and might tell us about potential outbreaks of infectious diseases. Or terrorist organizations. Also, have you noticed terrorists mostly come from countries with shattered economies and weak governments? Not to mention that STDs are contagious and don't stay home when the host travels internationally. International politics is complicated. Anyone who shows you a single line item without context is deceiving you. Especially if the number is related to sex and a disease associated with promiscuity. That's a red flag. Their stats may be true, but their stated goal isn't. [0]: https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c7870.html https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c7870.html
