foreign aid
Help between nations
Foreign aid is money, goods, or services that one country provides to another, typically from wealthier nations to those facing economic hardship, natural disasters, or development challenges.
Aid may come with conditions attached, such as requirements for political reform or trade agreements, and is often criticized as serving the donor's strategic interests as much as the recipient's needs.
The bill allocated billions in foreign aid to allies in the region.
