U.S. Senator Rubio said that direct aid should be given to other countries, abandoning the NGO involvement model.

Unbelievable! Is this really what Rubio said?

Rubio recently publicly stated, "If we want to help other countries, we should directly help them, rather than let NGOs get involved in expanding new businesses, and certainly not spend billions of dollars on NGOs."

If the U.S. foreign aid policy were indeed as he said, bypassing NGOs and directly reaching the recipient governments, it would be a major shift.

But as is well known, many NGOs have long maintained close relations with the U.S. Department of State, serving as "soft diplomatic tools," which are both convenient to use and have wide influence — would the U.S. really give up this "soft weapon"?

I am deeply skeptical!
