How is the United States able to give billions to other countries when we are trillions in debt and how does it get approved?
In: Economics
Well, it’s not exactly cold hard cash that we’re giving them. The headline figure we see on the news is the value of the aid. That aid consists of a wide range of weaponry and equipment, training, long-term investments under Foreign Military Financing (FMF) for security assistance from NATO, and various forms of aid such as demining assistance. We are also providing cash for Ukraine to acquire a wide array of capabilities including counter-mortar radars, secure radios, vehicles, electronic equipment, small arms and light weapons, and medical supplies.
