US Foreign Policy

         One major current event that the United States is affected by is sending rations to all the refugees in Kenya.  The United States is the largest donor to the world food program and they send around 111 million dollars in rations to Kenya. The United States are worried about sending rations to 500,000 rations to refugees to people Dadaab and Kakuma camps in Northern Kenya. Camps throughout Kenya have been flooded with refugees from Southern Sudan since the country descended into civil war. The United States of America are worried that they will not have enough rations to send over to Kenya since the increasing number of people living in the refugee camps. The U.S. urges and need other countries around the world to help donate more rations to Kenya.Without the help of others, the people living in refugee camps will have less food.                            
          The three lasting principles of the Monroe Document is separate spheres of influence, non-colonization, and non-intervention. The part of the Monroe Document that states separate the sphere of influence is really saying that you stay in your region, i'll stay in mine. This U.S. would have to disregard this part of the document in this situation because the wont to help Kenya to thrive, not help it collapse. The part of the Monroe Document that states non-colonization would affect the ration problem in Kenya because the U.S. wants to help them by giving rations to help their country thrive. the U.S. doesn't want to take over the country, they just want to help them. Finally, the part in the Monroe Document that states non-intervention would affect the U.S.. The U.S. and other countries donate millions of dollars to the World Food Program so they can give rations to help other countries survive.  This would affect the U.S. because they are donating millions of dollars to a country that they want to help, so it would directly affect them. The ration problem in Kenya is a major problem for the U.S. foreign policy.
