In this Frontpage Mag article, Daniel Greenfield questions the wisdom of the U.S. sending hundreds of millions in aid to Venezuela following earthquakes, warning it risks subsidizing a hostile communist dictatorship.
- The Trump administration announced an additional nine-figure aid package after an initial $150 million, routed partly through UN agencies and groups like the World Food Programme known for waste and fraud.
- Venezuela remains a narco-state at the center of drug trafficking to America despite leadership changes, making large-scale cash transfers a dangerous subsidy to adversaries.
- Humanitarian rescue efforts are one thing, but broad aid programs historically prop up regimes rather than truly helping suffering citizens.
- Critics argue America should not default to blank-check foreign spending toward enemy nations, especially when oversight is questionable and funds often disappear.
- The piece calls for learning from past mistakes instead of repeating liberal foreign aid habits that enrich dictators while burdening U.S. taxpayers.
- With Venezuela’s history of corruption and anti-Americanism, such assistance demands strict conditions and accountability rather than open-ended generosity.
