Now that USAID has been thrown under the bus, it’s actually a golden opportunity for Europe to both rethink and boost aid programs.
India is a crucial counterbalance to China. Now that the USA is retreating into internal bickering and giving up its global leadership, Europe should continue building ties with India and helping them lift people out of poverty.

- teitoklien 2y agoThey are not accepting aid. Read this : https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/india-tells-uk-we-dont-need-your-foreign-aid-1607413 https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/india-tells-uk-we-dont-need-your-f... It’s not Indian newspaper, its british newspaper. They’ve been asking UK to stop the aid since 2008, It’s being sent out of corruption deals between UK politicians and local special interest groups who are friends with those politicians. India never asked for any of these aids. The total aid India receives is smaller than the bloody fertiliser SUBSIDY budget of the country. It’s literally trinkets and they actively do not want it. India also banned foreign contributions and aid money being sent to its local NGOs without central government permission, just to put a stop to this.
- gadders 2y agoMakes sense. I hope we stop that and the disguised aid by offering preferential terms on work visas etc.
- BobaFloutist 2y ago>disguised aid by offering preferential terms on work visas etc. How on earth is a policy encouraging brain-drain aid??
