Top US diplomat visits Turkey quake zone; pledges $100m in aid

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken took a helicopter tour of Hatay, one of the provinces worst affected by the February 6 earthquake in southern Turkey and northern Syria, and pledged a further $100m in aid to help the region.

The visit came as Turkey ended rescue efforts in all provinces except the two hardest hit by last week’s massive quake that killed tens of thousands of people, the disaster agency said on Sunday.

Wow. A top US delegate gave another country money to help with their disaster but could not help his own citizens at home with the disaster in Ohio. This is the best administration in US history ever. Pft. Smh.

[ndamonahashali]

Great news. I hope they remember the innocent people of Syria who are also affected by the earthquake.

[FinarfinNoldorin]

Helping others should not come with conditions, but I am grateful for the aide being sent there to help those affected by this horrible disaster.

[nicolasmahone]

And what about aid for the people in Ohio or the southern Mexico border?

[Angelacooks]

It shall be well, hold on guys we're praying for you all the way from Kenya 🇰🇪🤝.

100 million for aid to Turkey and 45 billion for war in Ukraine....

[disillusioned]

US Congress already said they won’t approve the F-16 fighters for Turkey until Turkey approves the NATO applications of Finland and Sweden. Basically playing the same game as Erdogan 🤷‍♂️

I See the U.S. Is Still Printing Money!

[adamfernandez]

100 MILLION is peanuts the Americans just gave Ukraine 8 billion and spent Trillions in Afghanistan Iraq hence the 30 Trillion debt they are in .

[gitmoholliday]

100 Million probably with the restriction Turkey needs to up their game against Russia.

[cherry-vzkx]

$100m for Turkey with strings attached.$50b+ for Ukraine no strings attached.

The wisest thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on the govt. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in Gold, Silver and digital currencies (BTC, ETH...)

[janah]

100m from Jewnited states to ally and NATO member ..meanwhile, 100b to Ukraine....American Pakistani gave 30m alone

[trmon]

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and NATO needs to do more for our long standing ally

[brandiearmijo]

We can't pay 100 million! We need that money! Sorry, but we're headed towards a huge economic disaster and we're giving out money to other countries. STOP!

[MrAshraf]

The USA 🇺🇸 should honor with Turkey 🇹🇷 as they have stood with the USA for decades.

[gilbertowuor]

US is a very strange country indeed, here they are giving Turkey a mere 100 million dollars while Ukraine gets 500 million dollars (1/2 a billion) to keep on fighting a senseless war. Who deserves more, can someone help me understand this twisted logic.

[zainzoala]

😂😂😂 Let's talk about spreading wars & expanding wars zones we have billions more waiting for new weapons.

[amandaberry]

While American ppl are starving. Usa will rake care if tge world but not its people

[umesharionram]

AS LONG AS ITS HONEST CATASTROPHE AID AND NOT SOME KIND OF BRIBE FOR NEW NATO MEMBERSHIP APROVAL !!!!
