美国敦促各国支持“贸易优于援助”倡议
Read, Watch or Listen
Washington — The U.S. urged other nations this week to support a 'Trade Over Aid' initiative at the United Nations, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio instructed U.S. diplomats to deliver a formal demarche to foreign officials, seeking endorsements ahead of a formal presentation planned for the end of April. The move, detailed in an internal diplomatic cable reported by multiple outlets, aims to promote pro-business reforms and private investment in development; the United Nations has warned that privatizing aid systems risks undermining humanitarian assistance, and news organizations reported that initial outreach and debate will continue through the upcoming UN session.
