US foreign aid is mostly synonymous to defense spending. They give money to other countries with the agreement that they will buy from the American weapons manufacturers. So, in a sense this "aid" is just a give out to the US war industry. Even when the money is earmarked as food and medicine aid, the beneficiaries are (surprise) the American agricultural and pharmaceutical industries, respectively.
