I think that is entirely besides the point. The US doesn't give money to those in need out of the generousness of its heart nor should be expect any other nation to do the same.
The point is, that they made the effort (regardless of their motives).
However, much like India after the Tsunami there is no reason why the US would have to accept anything offered.
