Foreign aid is money that is given by the United States government to governments of other nations. According to the Congressional Research Service, there are five categories of foreign aid: economic assistance, humanitarian aid, multilateral economic contributions, bilateral development aid, and military aid.
The U.S. provides aid to countries that are recovering from war, developing countries, and countries that are strategically important to the U.S. In 2019 (the most recent year for which comprehensive numbers have been released), the U.S. spent over $47 billion on foreign aid – about the same as 2018 and $1 billion more than in 2017. More than 35% of that aid went to ten countries.

10 countries that receive the most U.S. foreign aid:
Afghanistan ($4.89 billion)
Israel ($3.3 billion)
Jordan ($1.72 billion)
Egypt ($1.46 billion)
Iraq ($960 million)
Ethiopia ($922 million)
Yemen ($809 million)
Colombia ($800 million)
Nigeria ($793 million)
Lebanon ($790 million)
Several governmental agencies provide foreign aid, including the Department of Defense, the Department of State, the Department of the Treasury, the Department of Energy, and the Peace Corps, just to name a few. As a rule, foreign aid falls into one of two categories: military aid and humanitarian (economic, developmental, or emergency relief) aid.
Many countries all over the world receive foreign aid from the United States, but there are a few that receive significant amounts. Iraq received over $5 billion in 2016, Afghanistan also receives several billion, Israel received over $3 billion, and Egypt and Jordan each received over $1 billion in aid. These countries receive a significant amount of military aid. In fact, all of Israel’s $3.1 billion was in military aid.
Other nations have received economic and development aid. Countries in Africa received about 32% of U.S. aid. Nations that benefit include Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Tanzania. About 31% of U.S. aid is spent in the Middle East, while 25% is spent in Asia.
Compared to other nations, the U.S. by far spends more foreign aid than anyone else. Germany is the next largest donor, but the U.S. spends over $10 billion a year more than this nation. That said, when considering foreign aid as a percentage of total GDP ($21.43 trillion in 2019), the U.S. is one of the lowest spenders among all developed countries.
US Foreign Aid by Country 2022
Look at the topics this was posted under. News/Current Events. The poster is a known Uke propagandist. She had a reason to post this under Current Events. I’m sorry that you missed that.
The last line in this propo piece...wait for it...US Foreign Aid by Country 2022
They wouldn’t give it a second thought. To NOT help us.
“our propo omits The Ukraine.”
I have posted 5 informative articles regarding U.S.foreign aid. Do To try and present an informative picture. I think our foreign aid budget is excessive & ludicrous? YES! [U.S. sendss funds to Russia???]
However, as you read theses article sbmissions, you will notice Ukraine has NOT been omitted.
Sure, that's easy, Since Christian Russia won the Second Chechen War and SUBJUGATED Muslim Terrorist Chechens and the Muslim Terrorist Chechen Military, all Chechens inside Russia's sphere of influence do as directed by Christian Russians, so they perform the Military Operations as Commanded and the seek out and Neutralize War Criminal Uke HomoNazis hiding behind Assorted Human Shields in various Ukraine locations.
The Result is Free, Liberated Oblasts whose Independent Governments can name areas and monuments for anyone or anything they choose, ... kinda like we in the US States used to be able to do, before our takeover by GloboHomoNazi Biden Crime Family, Antifa, BLM, and Occupy Wall Street, and the rest of your friends.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Fake American.
That’s right.
The world is going to miss the United States. They just don’t realize it yet.
My wife happens to be one of those Russian speakers from the Donbas. Her family and friends know the real story of the 2014 invasion and the crimes committed against patriotic Ukrainians. You are naive and brainwashed. You agree with all Moscow talking points and then call me a fake American. You are a Bolshevik stooge. How many more streets will be renamed after Rosa Luxemburg? How many more invasions will you support? The Republic of Georgia wasn’t enough so then you take Moscow’s side for the 2014 invasion and the 2020 invasion.
Then The Ukraine should have topped the list, if you omit the hardware we abandoned in Afghanistan, if included then 2nd on the list.
10 countries that receive the most U.S. foreign aid:
Afghanistan ($4.89 billion)
Israel ($3.3 billion)
Jordan ($1.72 billion)
Egypt ($1.46 billion)
Iraq ($960 million)
Ethiopia ($922 million)
Yemen ($809 million)
Colombia ($800 million)
Nigeria ($793 million)
Lebanon ($790 million)
Ukraine is a living disaster all because it wanted to join NATO. Should have learned from Mexico, who never joined any military pact with enemies of powerful neighbor.
After the Russian invasion of the Republic of Georgia and the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2014, of course it wanted to join NATO. Even Sweden has now wised up. Ukraine is killing lots of the invaders so we shall see how it goes.
It should all be stopped. The USA doesn’t owe them anything.
the date line & title on the piece may be confusing?
source - date line: February 7, 2022
source: https://www.concernusa.org/story/foreign-aid-by-country/
however the information publised in the article is from 2019.
in the discussion it compared 2019 spending to 2017 & 2018.
it is stated in the original source that spending info was updated based on partial reporting from 2021 (visit link)
since it is no July 2022, there is no information available for foreign aid spending for 2022.
so imo, this makes the title of the article itself misleading
since there is no official information available comparing top 10 recipients of US foreign aid for 2022, all we are getting is what has been reported on US dumping > 45 billion into the UKE so far this year.
so one can’t take that 45bb and retroactively stick in on top of the 2019 spending list posted on the forum and say “Uke is #1.
there is more recent information on foreign aid spending out now for 2021, but Uke is not included as the current flare up didn’t begin until 2022.
to do so you are basically comparing apples to oranges
here’s an excerpt for the information from the original souces linked above:

That doesn't mean that she's not a GloboHomo supporting Uke Nazi, and that doesn't mean that YOU are not naive and brainwashed.
No, it doesn’t mean that but for the record, She is a conservative Christian. Why would we be brainwashed? You’re the one who agrees with Moscow’s version of perverted history and Putin’s boy kissing.
I would point out that You’re the one who agrees with Biden’s version of perverted history and Biden’s little girl sniffing and fondling.
I hate Biden and responded to Trump’s call on January 6th. I support nothing of Biden. He is not on Ukraine’s side. He is slow walking aid. Biden is still a puppet and was part of the administration that promised Putin greater flexibility after reelection. Biden was part of that administration that struck down lethal aid for Ukraine and provided MREs and helmets. Trump provided the first Javs. And then your Putin was serviced by Hillary Clinton with American uranium. You really are a Biden stooge and a Putin stooge. You’re also arrogant and think you know more about Ukraine than Ukrainians.
