Despite President Trump’s assurance, the United States’ response to the devastating earthquake in Myanmar has been sluggish, falling behind countries like China, Russia, and India. While the US has pledged up to $2 million in aid, the relief efforts have been hindered by ongoing layoffs at USAID and disruptions to key systems. The slow pace of assistance from the US has raised concerns about the effectiveness of their aid delivery in the region. India, along with other nations, has been swift in providing assistance to Myanmar, showcasing solidarity in times of crisis. The disparity in response times among nations highlights the importance of prompt and efficient disaster relief efforts. The US government’s delayed response underscores the need for streamlined processes and resources to effectively address humanitarian crises. In the wake of the earthquake, cooperation and coordination among countries are essential to ensure timely and impactful aid reaches those in need.
