US President Donald Trump has signed a new executive order.
It requires all US foreign assistance to be ârebrandedâ to ensure recipients know that American taxpayers have paid for it.
On Thursday, Trump directed the 22 US Federal agencies that distribute US aid abroad to use a common logo on their packaging.
These items range from sacks of grain to medical supplies, tents, and water purification kits.
They said the aid from other nations like China, is readily identifiable with standardized logos.The White House also issued a statement and said, âTo foster goodwill between the recipients of United States foreign assistance and the American people, and to encourage the governments of nations that are receiving foreign assistance to support the United States.
It is essential that recipients of United States foreign assistance be aware of the manifold efforts of American taxpayers to aid them and improve their livesâ.
