5. Talking about the food aid US sends to needy countries

Many aid organizations have been saying that it's more effective to buy buy food near the hungry people who need it.
However, US food aid program is primarily a tool to aid US farmers and ship owners (food aid must be transported on US flag ships)

Therefore this proposal, which would help reduce starvation in needy countries, is a non-starter.
