Answer 2

D. The U.S. hoped the African governments would buy American products once their citizens had moved beyond the AIDS crises.

Step-by-step explanation:

Under the George W. Bush administration, the U.S. government sent billions of dollars to Africa to provide AIDS treatment. It also founded AIDS prevention measures and sent food to refugee camps. While all of these actions had a direct effect on those suffering from this horrible disease, the U.S. government also forgave some of the debt owed by African countries. In this way, while not having a direct influence on the people, it would lessen the burden that their government was facing, which left African governments with more resources to help their own people. The U.S. understood that a government that is stable and able to care for its citizens is able to maintain its dignity and become a partner in advancing human rights.
