When it comes to international relations, aid is one of the biggest ways the United States directly interacts with other countries. In the past we’ve seen foreign aid cases when the resolution was specific to a country or region, but this resolution would allow debaters to delve more fully into the aid we give all over the world (over 90% of countries receive aid from the United States).

Affirmatives will have access to a wide variety of cases, including reforming humanitarian aid, economic development assistance, food aid, healthcare provisions, emergency assistance, and military/anti-terrorism aid.
