United States domestic and foreign policy

The U.S. trades with both developed and
developing nations. In addition to commerce, our government can also help
developing countries through foreign direct aid by giving them money or
providing low cost loans. Opinions regarding the benefits of both foreign aid
and trade vary among Americans. Some say it benefits America, while others say
it doesn’t benefit America. In your opinion, should the United States base its
domestic and foreign policy as it pertains to trade on what is best for the
world and poor people everywhere? Or, should the United States make decisions
based solely on what is best for its own citizens? Why? Use evidence to support
your opinion.
