U.S. pledges generous earthquake relief to Venezuela
The Trump administration announced what appears to be its strongest disaster response since dismantling USAID, following earthquakes in Venezuela.
Following the recent earthquakes in Venezuela, the Trump administration has announced what appears to be its strongest disaster response since it dismantled America's premier aid agency USAID last year. The pledged relief includes financial aid and resources to help Venezuela recover from the devastating earthquakes. This marks a significant step given the U.S. had previously scaled back its international aid presence. The exact amount and nature of the aid are still being finalized, but the administration stated it is the largest support offered since the agency's closure.
