Diplomatic Gifts with ___________
The United States has
received many famous
gifts from other nations.
The Statue of Liberty was
a gift from France and was
presented to the United
States in 1884. In 1972
the Peoples’ Republic of
China sent two giant
pandas to the Washington
National Zoo.
Why might other nations
present the United States with a
gift?

Foreign Aid with ___________
Each year the United States give billions of dollars of
economic and humanitarian aid to countries around the
world. Yet some Americans believe this generosity
could be improved. When broken down per citizen, U.S.
foreign aid is much less than that given by other
countries. However, some Americans argue that as the
third most-populous country in the world, the U.S.
needs to concentrate on providing aid to its own
citizens.
Why do we give foreign
aid? Why should we give
more or less?
Stand up and
move two desks
to the right.
ROTATE!
U.S. Imports with ___________
Regulating trade and the environment are important
elements of U.S. foreign policy. Imports play a large role
in that policy.
Imports are items we get
from another country like
a BMW or a 3DS.
Exports are items we sell

Peace Corps with ___________
The Peace Corps (the ‘s’ is silent) was set up by
President Kennedy in 1961 as a volunteer program run
by the U.S. government. Its goal is to promote world
peace and friendship by sending volunteers to the
poorest countries in the world to help with education,
construction, and job training. Volunteers stay in their
assigned country for 2 years.
If you knew that leaving
America would help
dozens of people live a
better life, would you join
the Peace Corp? Why or
why not?
