However, if you're a group of industrialized nations that want to protect the value of their labor, you can collectively agree to tarriff countries that do not afford their citizens a proper standard of living.

That is a more nuanced approach, and would require diplomacy from a president who just told the world that US aid money is on the table to punish those who don't vote with us in the UN.
