In fact, US official development assistance amounts to just 0.15% of America’s GNP, which is less than one-fourth the global target. This contrasts with the 4% of GNP that the US spends on its military, roughly $500 billion this year.
事实上，美国官方发展援助只占其GNP的0.15%，还不到全球目标的四分之一。这与美国今年花了约5000亿美元（约占4%GNP）在其军备上形成鲜明对比。也就是说，美国在军备上的花费比它为最贫困国家所作的和平发展援助所花费的多出三十多倍。
