It has to be at least a 10-year project. There’s no quick fix to poverty, violence and corruption. We started this in 2016 with $750 million, really a drop in the bucket, but the money was helping coffee growers deliver coffee to the market, for example. It was beginning to have an effect.

Drop in the bucket is right. Does he really have the hubris to suggest the USA can prop up the economies to extent crime dries up in all of Central and South America. That is a fool's errand. I'll bet $10T would be soaked up with very little sustainable change. As long as we offer a welfare state to all comes, the pull factor will remain strong.
