Agree

Increase

However, he has also emphasized the need to prioritize domestic investment, so while he is not opposed to increasing aid, it is not a central plank of his platform. In his 2020 presidential campaign, Yang did not call for a significant increase in foreign aid, but he did support targeted international engagement.

Decrease, and deny aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism

Increase, but only for countries that have no human rights violations
