In the 2023 financial year, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) disbursed billions in foreign aid, with Ukraine receiving the highest amount at $16 billion.
Other major recipients included Ethiopia ($1.67 billion), Jordan ($1.19 billion), Afghanistan ($1.08 billion), and Somalia ($1.04 billion).
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Syria, Nigeria, Yemen, and South Sudan also received substantial funding.
US President Donald Trump has since disbanded USAID.
