the u.s. gives countries money (usually) with the condition that they spend it on u.s. made equipment and munitions. those companies then make profits on those sales. it’s basically subsidies for the u.s. defense industry. part of the ‘military industrial complex’.
i think those funds fall somewhere under defense dept spending and would be separate from non-defense related foreign aid (humanitarian, medical, environmental, disaster, etc).
Even the non military money isnt actual aid. Its loans that profit off of poor countries.
