the location was strategically valuable to both the military and business leaders.
the local rulers wanted financial assistance to rebuild after a natural disaster.

Explanation:

The United States was interested in Hawaii's strategic location. It was important for military purposes (such as a naval base) and for business (trade routes, sugar plantations etc.). Tropical resorts were not a main reason at the time of annexation. There was no significant call for help from locals regarding poverty/disease or after a natural disaster as a main annexation driver.

Answer:

The location was strategically valuable to both the military and business leaders.
