    The United States gives billions of dollars in foreign aid to developing nations every year. In total foreign aid is in the 60-70 billion dollar range but that includes Israel and Ukraine… Total strictly humanitarian aid is more like 20 billion-ish. So, thats nice.

      Gave*

      With the near-complete dissolution of USAID, expect that number to drop dramatically. Unless it’s for Israel.

        USAID was nothing but a tool of imperialism and regime change. The US creates the circumstances so that they would need aid. Aid that comes with strings attached.
