Hilary Goodfriend, a resident of the country, documents conditional US money in the country - promoting corporate power and bypassing the leftist FMLN government, and mirroring decades of US policy in the region backing capital at the expense of peace and democratic sovereignty. Far from saving lives, the program works to create export markets to siphon away natural resources, domestic talent, and public property.
The end result of this aid program's operation has been the Bukele government currently turning the country into an enormous libertarian nightmare land.
FFS, the second biggest recipient of USAID funds is Israel.
Jewish and Israeli aid groups are hit by Trump’s suspension of USAID, refugee program
And if you keep repeating the line that US efforts in the Israeli zones of interest were benevolent, I do not know what else can be said to convince you otherwise at this point in history.
Time and again, USAID is a thin wedge of special interest money used to leverage open a country for more direct interventions by American espionage agencies and corporate allies. The shift in Trump's priorities has been to go from covert operations to explicit military assault. The difference between ruffying a person's drink and simply grabbing them by the hair. But the pre-Trump way of doing things wasn't actually helping these countries thrive. Just the opposite, they were pulling vulnerable nations into the US orbit for the purpose of harvesting them later.
