U.S. Pledges $156 Million Over Two Years To Help Southeast Asian Countries
In the pivot to Asia, the United States is putting its money where its mouth is. Secretary of State John Kerry says the U.S. will provide $32.5 million in new aid to help Southeast Asian countries protect their territorial waters. Vietnam will receive nearly half of the additional aid. That includes five fast patrol boats for its coast guard. The aid comes as China is asserting its authority over the South China Sea, alarming other nations in the area. In all, the U.S. has pledged $156 million over two years to bolster security in the area.

Just imagine if that money was spent on cities like Detroit that are going broke, all over the USA.
To hell with those outside the USA. Our economy should support OUR economy. I buy American and support locals. OUR taxes need to stay at home. period. If you like your hard earned money, you can keep your hard earned money.
it's our american money it should be used in the united states where it is needed.to hell with those other countries they hate americans anyway.
Actually 643 there's a good chance that those boats and their electronics will be built by american workers
Why can't they pledge $156 Million to the people who are right here in the U.S? Let those countries take care of their own and we will do the same, after all the illegals are sent back to where they belong, then close the borders forever.
Thats good news to hear. Glad we can take care of others than our own when we "supposed" to be broke. Cities going bankrupt and all that.
