ways the US has economic influence

Question 1

one way the US has economic influence is by being a big provider of financial aid to other countries

Answer 1

This means that they can donate aid to poorer developing countries to help them develop infrastructure or recover from war.

However, if aid is withdrawn, people in that country may suffer. For example, Afghanistan receives the most US financial aid ($4.89 billion).

Question 2

another way the US has economic influence is that many global companies are based in America.

Answer 2

This means that decisions made by these companies can affect people all over the world.

For example, Amazon created thousands of new jobs in the UK after opening new warehouses.
