American rescue personnel went to Myanmar, slept on the streets, and then turned around to find out that they had been fired by Trump.
The earthquake in Myanmar is heartbreaking, and more than 3,000 people have already lost their lives. Previously, netizens from many countries discussed why they did not see a large-scale arrival of American rescue forces, which seemed inconsistent with its "global leadership" status. In fact, the United States sent people over, but the situation of these American rescue workers was equally disheartening.
According to reports from Reuters, three staff members of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) had already arrived in Myanmar to participate in disaster relief work. A senior official at USAID headquarters introduced that these three colleagues worked very diligently and were always striving hard. But it should be due to the lack of sufficient logistical support from the U.S. government, resulting in them having to sleep on the streets. Even worse, they received notice of their dismissal by the Trump administration while working on the front lines.
Recently, the Trump administration has officially dissolved USAID, leaving no employees behind, including those who were executing tasks abroad. This means that future actions of these individuals will lose government support. Currently, American netizens are worried about how these three USAID employees in Myanmar can return home. This incident has made American netizens very angry; they believe this incident has brought shame to the country. After all, so many countries are carrying out rescue efforts in Myanmar, only America experiences such incidents.
In essence, Trump's "America First" policy is a form of strategic contraction, so they cut various foreign projects. The United Nations now worries that this will have a significant impact on global humanitarian cooperation. American experts believe that this will cause the United States to lose its "global leadership," handing over the position to China. In fact, China has never intended to compete with the United States for these things. We just hope that the people of Myanmar can get through this difficult time, and we only wish to help more disaster victims. As for competing with the United States in this regard, it is their overthinking. Anyway, we hope that everything goes smoothly for these three American rescue personnel!
