Pakistan ($687 million)
Pakistan has been one of the leading recipients of U.S. foreign aid for years. But relations were severely strained after the U.S. mission to kill Al Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. And President Trump criticized Pakistan in a tweet earlier this year, saying, “The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!” Still, U.S. diplomats view continued aid to Pakistan as critical. According to ForeignAssistance.gov, “Assistance to Pakistan complements U.S. national security policy in neighboring Afghanistan and remains critical to the stability and prosperity of the region, as well as U.S. national security interests.”
