Saudi Arabia: $255 million from Aramco! Maybe Saudi Arabia should worry about feeding their own people before they start offering to help ours.

Saw on TV where Mexico sent a convoy of 45 large trucks loaded with water, baby formula, food, blankets, etc. They interviewed people saying that they wanted to help their american neighbors.

I did see the show, actually! That is one reason why your post attracted me. Thanks for posting this information. I'd be more likely to give a pass to Japan and lay it on Canada. Canadians are becoming more and more Eurocentric...blah.
