re: #268 reine.de.tout

I’ve not yet heard the reasons why the foreign assistance was shunned. I keep hearing how foreign offers were turned down, but what are the reasons? When somebody finds me a story telling me the reasons why the foreign aid was turned down, then I may be upset about this. Until then, I’m assuming that there were reasonable reasons for turning down these offers - maybe it’ll turn out I’m wrong on that, but I don’t understand why the only reporting on this has been “He turned down offers of help!”, with no reporting on the reasons WHY.

I haven’t been following that criticism but according to media matters….
Myth: Obama admin turned down foreign assistance in dealing with oil cleanup

At least that give a starting point if you want to look into it.
