The recent actions of the United States** have attracted widespread attention. On the one hand, they provoked the Russia-Ukraine conflict and fueled the Palestinian-Israeli conflict;On the other hand, they continue to ask Congress for money, whether it is to aid Israel and Ukraine, or to rebuild the affected areas, which requires a lot of financial support. However, inflation and recession are intensifying in the United States, and the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike policy has made the economy more fragile. Faced with demand and financial difficulties across sectors, Biden is pinning his hopes on Pacific island nations for more funding. However, if the funds are not forthcoming, the United States could lose its influence on these island nations.
First, we need to understand why Biden** is taking the Pacific islands so seriously. These island nations are the "sea and air corridors" for the United States to project its forces in the western Pacific region, and can also serve as spare tires for the ** base group and provide important logistics supply bases. So, for the United States, the importance of these island nations is self-evident. However, the problem of funding could become a major problem for the United States. Under the terms of the agreement, the United States will provide a total of $7.1 billion over 20 years to the three island nations. However, given the current fiscal situation in the United States, it will not be easy to come up with this money. Not long ago, Raimondo had difficulty asking Congress for a budget of $200 million, let alone billions of dollars.
The warning from the Pacific island countries is undoubtedly a clear warning to the United States. If the United States fails to keep its promises, the island nations may find other ways out. While the United States is strategically unable to tolerate such a threat, it also faces a dilemma when it comes to funding.
Therefore, we have to ask, how can the United States improve its own economic situation?We all know that China has warned the United States that trying to block other people's doors will only narrow its own path. Today, the United States is in this predicament. Rather than competing for so-called influence, the United States should take the time to think about how to improve its economy. After all, no country is an arena for the game of great powers, and peace and cooperation are the common aspirations of all people. Let's wait and see if the United States can find a way out of its economic woes!
