Why do countries help each other?
Countries often provide aid or economic relief to others, especially after natural disasters. This can be for humanitarian reasons, to maintain good diplomatic relations, or to stabilise global trade and security. Colombia's request to the US for tariff suspension is an example of seeking international support during a crisis.
