It may sound weird, but foreign aid is often good for America. When the US government sends food aid, they send American wheat, which they bought from American farmers. It’s the US government paying us farmers to feed foreign nationals. Likewise, US military aid is often American made material paid for by the government and used by a foreign power.

The vast majority of foreign aid is basically domestic stimulus, it creates an artificial export market.
