The level of financial aid given by rich nations to poorer nations in

Question

The level of financial aid given by rich nations to poorer nations in order to raise the poorer nations’ industrial capacity is directly influenced by the extent to which the donors fear competition and the threat of diminished exports. The amount of aid recommended by Congress is invariably reduced and redistributed by presidential decree according to the findings of a select committee judging aid packages purely from an American business perspective. As a consequence, many poorer nations have to find areas of industrial activities that pose no threat to the industrial global order.
 
If the above statements are true, which one of the following must also be true?

(A) The most needy countries are those with the smallest industrial output.
(B) The amount of aid received by poorer nations for industrial projects is in proportion to the extent to which they develop new industrial bases that pose no threat to rich nations.
(C) Poorer nations depend on foreign aid to advance their industrial economies.
(D) The wealth of richer nations has expanded thanks to a policy of withholding foreign aid.
(E) The amount of foreign aid given to poorer nations by richer industrialized nations has been reduced to safeguard existing export markets.

BekzodSigma · Answer

the passage itself says that rich countries fear the competition against poor counties. so if they would give them aid, poorer counties could surpass other nations (which supported them with financial aid) and became even richer

Option B states ".......that pose no threat to rich nations."
And, the argument stated covers "The amount of aid recommended by Congress is invariably reduced and redistributed by presidential decree according to the findings of a select committee judging aid packages purely from an American business perspective."

American business perspective would only be valid in America. Why would it represent rich nations per say ?
