When Trump talked about axing and or pause some overseas assistance, it was like a cold wind swept over. Trump put out his budget for about $54 billion for military and smashing about the same amount for the non-defense programs. Foreign Aid, which is one percent of the federal budget, is expected to be one of the first things on the list for areas to cut. This would include military aid, debt relief, funds for long-term development programs and emergency aid. The US is by far the biggest finical contributor to countries in need. In 2016 alone, the US has donated about 29% of what the whole globe has supplied.
