Because the U.S. brought Agent Orange to Vietnam, the cleanup program is more akin to restitution than charity. The project is why the U.S. has “an extraordinary relationship” with “a country that should by all rights hate us,” one official said.

Seems like the goal is to alienate us from everyone and everything that could be interpreted as doing good in the world- cause who the fawk needs that I guess 🤦🏽♀️
Can anyone look into this? My dad’s a Vietnam vet who got prostrate cancer from Agent Orange from 4 tours over there. Imagine those left behind with all of those chemicals.
My uncle got cancer due to Agent Orange use in Vietnam. They removed a leg to try to stop the cancer but it wasn’t enough. He passed 2 years ago.
The US absolutely must clean up the mess that they made.
My husband did 2 tours in Vietnam and passed away in 2020 from multiple health issues ending with cancer of the larynx which had also metastasized to blood cancer as a result of agent orange. I retired early from a teaching career to be his caregiver. So y’all know what I think of the Drumpf admin.
tRump is the most selfish narcissistic man in the world. His Regime cares only for himself and his billionaire friends. The Regime cares not for hard working Americans or those who served their country in foreign lands to protect us. He’s a despicable man without compassion or empathy.
A lot of mfg that moved out of China went to VN. They should completely f us over by adding cost. When Jim Bob and Bezos have to pay for shit, it can be used to recompense.
The government may consider it an international embarrassment to do that. Perhaps somebody at the US Embassy there could make the offer in some way so the Vietnamese could accept it as a gift from the American people to the Vietnamese people directly, as opposed to the more awkward look of begging.
This is such a disgusting betrayal of our responsibility and mismanagement of what is obviously a project that must be completed. Rubio is an idiot & think Marocco is just evil.

he had cancers in the bones of his face & skull for years
then a form of leukemia which is rare, but found in VN era Vets
Imagine living where that stuff was dropped
50 years later
I'm only sorta joking, because these are not normal times.
