American aid

U.S. humanitarian support

American aid refers to financial assistance, military support, or humanitarian resources provided by the United States to other countries.

The term appears frequently in geopolitical discussions about foreign policy leverage and international relations: American aid to Ukraine has become a partisan issue.

Aid may come with conditions—economic reforms, human rights requirements, or diplomatic alignment—making American aid as much about influence as generosity.
