Detroit knows a good investment when we see one. We’ve built industries, weathered storms and come back stronger every time because we don’t waste time on bad deals — we bet on what works.And USAID? It works.For less than 1% of the federal budget, USAID keeps us safer, creates new markets for American-made goods and prevents costly disasters before they happen. It has been a lifeline for American farmers, manufacturers and businesses— including right here in Michigan.USAID has helped struggling nations grow into stable economies that now buy Michigan-made cars, steel and agricultural products. Without it, those markets dry up, and places like China and Russia step in. If America pulls back, they’ll fill the gap — shaping global trade in ways that hurt American workers.
