Coliseum Debate: International Aid
October 29 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm EDT
At the start of his second term in office, President Trump and his administration withdrew funding for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), with a small portion of USAID’s functions being transferred to the Department of State. These extensive changes prepare the way for accurate disagreement and productive debate about the United States’ proper role in supporting the development of foreign nations.
Does the US have an obligation to provide humanitarian or developmental aid to other nations? Should funding for an agency like USAID be restored? How should the US extend its soft power influence around the globe?
Join Braver Angels Thurs Oct 29 @ 7 pm EDT for a debate on the United States’ role in international development. Our resolution will be developed to generate disagreement amongst our panelists. Remember, our resolutions never represent Braver Angels’ stance on any issue, and we alternate between speeches for and against the resolution.
Speakers include:
Alice Albright – former CEO of the Millennium Challenge Corporation
Max Primorac – Senior Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation
Emily Brearley – Founder, Solution42 and developmental economist
+ More coming soon!
All guests will have the opportunity to submit questions via registration and during the event. The event will be conducted as a webinar format on Zoom.
