Programs to combat disease are an exception. I might well cut off funds to build a dam if the nation where its built is just playing the US for a sucker, but I’m not going to pull funds to vaccinate their children.

But a damn can provide power to run a water treatment plant that will prevent their kids from getting diseases. Aid is aid. Period. The reason you provide aid to others is to help them, hence the word ‘aid’.
