I wonder just how much of that is foreign aid.
But...those aren't the figures reported by the State Department @ State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development FY 2019 Budget Request It says the 2019 budget request is for $39.3 BILLION! It then goes on to indicate what the spending will be for. If you want to wade through the details, go to https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/sta-fy2019.pdf 82 pages long with the most boring information you will ever see. Somewhere in this morass is how much $$$ we are sending to individual countries. USAID shows up @ 811.
I would love to see someone make sense of this.
