"their main experience of us "? theirs? ours?

Context:

We invest in global health as a tool of public diplomacy. For millions of people worldwide, the prevention, treatment or care that the United States makes possible is their main experience of us as a country and a people. And it can be a very powerful one. Giving people a chance at a long and healthy life or helping protect their children from disease conveys as much about our values as any state visit or strategic dialogue ever could.

"us" is correct Oristar,
NB: The word used is us not U.S. (not Untied States of America) Which I think you got.

@dadpad,
The problem is the meaning of experience.
I've solved that.
Thank you for replying.
